Resetting your password
As I was logging in the other day a pleasant 'chime' brought my attention to a message box on the monitor telling me my password had expired. Ninety days had passed and evidently my password had expired! After a brief time of mourning it was time to change the code and commit a new one to memory. I wonder, who decided 90 days should be the lifetime of a password?
Almost as an afterthought, it became a time to reflect on the past 3 months. What have I been doing? Have I been fruitful? What do I need to confess and ask for forgiveness? Is there something I didn't do that I should have? What relationships need work? These questions made me think about my heart in relation to His but the reminder came in such a form that wasn't condemning. Isn't that God! Kindness that leads to repentance. God doesn't wait 90 days. Daily reminders come in many forms and are best listened to as one keeps step with the Spirit. From time to time God has to get in my face and the variety in God's approach is always uniquely personal. It is just what I need to relate on a daily basis. What a great God!
