An electrical connection allows electricity to flow from
one point to another so that a certain task can be
performed successfully. A good example is a lamp. With a
good electrical connection, the electricity flows, you turn
the switch and you get light.
Have you ever had a water connection break down? If a pipe
breaks or becomes disconnected then there is an
interruption of the flow of water, not to mention all the
headaches that go with it! But, fixing that connection
allows water to flow freely into your home.
Of course, there are "people connections." Someone may have
said to you, "Oh, I can get great tickets, I've got good
connections." You've probably heard many times that, "It's
who you know." In the business world, having good
connections can be very beneficial. Good connections
provide a way for things to flow from one person to another.
But so many Christians overlook the best connection there
is. If the Bible says that we are children of God, then
that means that God is our Father. Think about that for a
minute. The Creator of the heavens and the earth is our
Father! Is that not the best connection that you could
ever have?
People often talk about how "lucky" other people are; how
they always get the good deals; how they get the best
accounts, how they got a good promotion. All they can see
is that for these few people, things just simply flow in
their lives. They conclude that these people must have
some pretty good connections.
Those who observe and say things like indicate that they
themselves never have those kinds of things happen to them.
God promised to supply all that we need. When was the last
time that somebody promised to do that for you? We really
do have the best connection that there is.
The point is, ask! Ask God for help in everything that you
do. He can and He will provide whatever you need,
including whatever other "connections" you might need. He
has promised that He would direct your path.
The key is, when asking for His help, expect to get
results. Why ask if you don't even expect an answer? Ask,
then look for and anticipate the desired results.
How can you be expecting and anticipating the results that
you need when you feel like others are just so "lucky" and
you're not? When you go around feeling like everybody else
gets all the breaks and you never do, that is exactly what
you are going to attract into your life.
Too many people live in self-pity. Their whole life
amounts to, "poor me, nothing good ever happens to me; good
things just happen to everybody else, but not me." Having
that kind of mindset will never reap the results that you
want in your life.
When you really think about, it doesn't matter what happens
to "everybody else." What is important is what you desire
to happen in your life. And guess what? Your Father has
an unlimited supply. His resources cannot be counted.
And, on top of that, He loves you!
Talk about having a good connection!
So instead of relying on your own ability, why not rely on
His ability? Instead of thinking that you have no
"connections," why not rely on your connection with Him?
Ask Him for help, and then expect it. Look for it.
Anticipate it.
Expect to receive what He has promised you. We really do
have the best connection!
