When the Lights are On But Nobody's Home

Last night I noticed my wireless charger was no longer working. 

Usually, when the wireless charger is on, the light underneath the charger is blue. While the phone is being charged the blue light changes to red and returns to blue when the phone is fully charged.

This time, the light underneath the charger remained blue and wasn't charging my phone.

I wondered whether the fault was in the charger or my phone. I tried charging my phone with the cable and it worked.

Today, I took.the charger to our local phone repair shop. I asked the techie if he could test the charger with his phone.  He showed me it wasn't charging his phone either, which meant there was a problem with the charger. I decided to get a new wireless charger which I tested first before buying. 

Later, while I was going for a walk, I pondered over why the charger had stopped working.  It reminded me of the phrase  "The lights are on but nobody's home," which is a polite way of saying someone lacks intelligence or awareness.

From a spiritual perspective, I believe the blue light underneath the wireless charger represents the natural man with his human knowledge and understanding; and the red light represents the spirit man. 

In other words, the blue light is the secular world view and the red light is the Biblical world view.

Human knowledge can only get you so far. However, supernatural experiences come from the Holy Spirit, which every born-again believer in Christ has living in them.

How does this relate to my own life experience?

This makes a lot of sense because I have been meditating on my identity as spirit man. I need to fully.embrace my identity as spirit man.

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for that revelation. ❤️

Ps: My new wireless charger doesn't show any light when it's on. The moment you put your phone on top.of it, the surrounding blue light comes on indicating the phone is being charged.

An Easy Day

Image
Before I went to work at this museum, I thanked God for an easy, fun and wonderful day. Half of my time was spent working in the gallery, where I was invigilating, and in the shop serving customers.  Although it was really busy with a constant flow of visitors and kids, I found it easy as God was working in me and through me My work colleagues were also very nice and helpful and I enjoyed working with them. I also enjoyed chatting to the parents and their kids. While I was tidying up an area of the gallery, I found this soft toy and I gave it to a colleague to look after. Later, I saw this boy sitting in the cafe with his mum and sister. I noticed he was carrying the toy I had found in the gallery. I told him I was glad he got his toy back. I asked him how old they were, he was six years old  and his sister was ten. The boy said his birthday was on the 27th December. I told him my nephew's birthday was also on that day. How amazing is that? At the end of the shift, our duty ma...

Indiana Jones

Image
Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Jesus is Lord!

"...no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:3 ---- While I was relaxing in bed, I stretched one leg and I started feeling pain on my calf.   No, no, no! The pain quickly became a cramp. I called on the name of Jesus, but I could feel the pain getting worse. Just as I was about to get off the bed and put my foot down, I heard these words deep inside of me, "Jesus is Lord." I said the words out loud: JESUS IS LORD! The cramp immediately left my calf. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your reminder that Jesus is Lord. ❤️ "Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3: 17 Image of the cross courtesy of Google Images, but I added the text.
