Our small electric heater that takes the chill off the bathroom, after never having a problem, unexpectedly stopped working the other day and was returned to the store. It was replaced, and all was cozy again until one frosty morning this one died, too! Enough was enough, so another trip to the store was necessary. You guessed it, same scenario!
Before they took it back this time, the men in the family unplugged the heater from the bottom of the duplex outlet and tried it in the upper outlet. Presto! It worked fine! It was the connection all the time! And to think we kept exchanging the perfectly good heaters! LOL!
Seriously, though, sometimes it seems our prayers are like the unproductive outlet. They aren't going anywhere. They are not making a connection! They may start out well, full of warmth and power, then they cool with a feeling of disconnect. It's time to check our connection! Take it from the lower level into the upper outlet!
The Bible tells of how the shepherds took their sheep to a higher table land. The 23rd Psalm says, "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Verse 23:5.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:6.
We just need to go a little higher with our prayers!
