Since Carol was driving, I used her
trusty old flip phone to call a Support Line. Their tech listened calmly to my
problem and told me the phone needed to be connected to a computer to be fixed.
He said I should reboot it, plug it into my laptop, open iTunes and touch a
certain key. When I did this at home, the phone worked better, but it was still
not quite right. As per his instructions, I installed a new version of software
and then my phone worked like new again.
Wouldn’t it be nice when big life
problems came up that we could call a heavenly support line, get a new version
of “life software” and be like new again? Instead, we have to figure things out
and often learn to live without what we cannot retrieve. Yet we don’t need to
do this all by ourselves. I might have spent hours trying my own repairs and
accidentally got it right, but instead I decided to call for help.
We can always do this when life problems come up, but we need to be connected to Him by faith. God is
there to hear our prayers and give us guidance in His Word. He is also there to
calm our fears, give us a new start with forgiveness and assure us of His love
in Jesus Christ. Life can wear us down and as we age, we will never work like
new again. But God promises us in Revelation 21:5, “He who was
seated on the throne said, ‘I am
making everything new!’ Then he
said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true’.”
God’s Words are always trustworthy and true, and when we
trust His Son Jesus, we believe that one day in eternity He will make
everything new, including our sinful and weak bodies, especially those parts
that don’t work here on earth any more.
What do you have in life that needs fixing?
