Spiritually Speaking

A local cell phone company runs a TV about a couple who has incredible luck entering contests. It seems the couple has been all over the world just because the filled out a form and won. The thrust of the commercial is to give them a call on their cell phone because all their incoming calls are free. I bet that couple gets hundreds of calls every time the commercial airs given this economic environment.

Contests are fun and I do enter one every now and then. Why? Because it is there I guess. Besides I don’t believe in luck per se. If I were to ever win a contest it is because God wants me to. Odds have nothing to do with it.

God doesn’t play the odds.

We don’t have to enter contests to win. We are already winners in God’s eyes. All we have to do is stay connected. Fortunately you don’t need a cell phone or any phone to stay connected. God takes all prayer

requests and does not charge you anything to talk. Likewise God’s speaks to us in our lives and we do not need a phone or any piece of technology to hear. Our task is to stay connected through prayer and we will receive the advice we need to be winners in life.

connected through prayer and we will receive the advice we need to be winners in life.
