A new study found the heaviest smartphone users click, tap, or swipe on their phones 5,427 times a day.That is the top 10%. However, the rest of us still touch our phones 2,617 times a day on average. Interestingly enough, the people surveyed completely underestimated their usage.
It raises the question: How many clicks, taps, and swipes take place between you and God a in day? If the number of times you were in contact with God was tracked, would you be shocked by the result? Would it be because of how often or how infrequently you reach out to Him? James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
With this verse in mind, we have a prayer cloud on our website, as well as a prayer team that lifts up requests from the prayer cards. When we pray for each other, a spiritual glue bounds us to each other and to God. “if when Two or more gathered Jesus is in our midst, imagine how His presence would also be experienced when His people pray together. 6 times in scripture Jesus promises to answer our prayers. We are designed to thrive in a community of other believers.
E.M. Bounds said, “Talking to men for God is a great thing but talking to God for men is greater still.”
Christmas is about God coming to earth to be with us now until forever. Stay connected to Him now through your prayers throughout your every day.
Rev. Dr. William Lewis
