Why Keep on Jiggling?

A man stopped to help a lady get her car started. “If you jiggle the battery wife, it will be OK.” She said.
Raising the hood, the man noticed the loose battery cable and offered to get a wrench and tighten the cable so she wouldn’t have more trouble later. “Oh, no.” she said, “My husband said, ‘All you need to do is jiggle the wires.’”
As the man jiggled the wire, he became aware that he had not fixed any problem, he had just jiggled the wire, and the car started one more time, but she kept the same old problem.
God had come into the world to no longer allow man to simply “jiggle” the problems of a life condemned in sin. He came in the form of Jesus to take the most horrible punishment and suffer death on the cross so life eternal could be gained for all. Do you continue to “jiggle” the problems of the day, hoping simply to start one more time and eventually someone will come and help? He is here now; let him “fix” your life.

Mid-week Prayer

Eternal God. Let us come this day before You and bring our life to be repaired with the fullness of Your grace and the power of Your Holy Spirit. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
