Buffering
Foundation Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:2-8
The other night I was running late to watch one of my favorite programs. As usual, my show had already started and then I must wait for the little obnoxious wheel to quit spinning before I can advance and move on.
Or, I am at the grocery store, and the clerk asks, "Did you find everything okay?" No, I didn’t find everything okay because its location has been hidden from me due to rearranging of numerous items, but by this time the little wheel is running in circles in my head while I try and make sense of coming to the grocery store in the first place.
I finally exit the grocery store and get the idea of an ice cream cone on the way home. I pull up into the drive-up window, get behind two cars that have a single person in the car but order a seven-course meal. While I wait, the little wheel has gone back to spinning inside my head.
I then head home in a rush to unpack the frozen food in the back seat. Going through the roundabout, my little head wheel resumes to spinning again.
I finally decide to listen to my favorite Christian radio station and tune in just as they enter a new trivial interview of an amazing product that interrupts my music and starts my inner wheel to spinning inside my head again. After making it home, putting away the groceries, hiding the evidence of my ice cream cone, I start preparing dinner and start wondering where I put it. Again, the little wheel is beginning to spin again and this time, instead of slowing down, I find I am being buffered again and the little circle inside my head resumes.
What a despondent, futile, and meaningless life I live. "There is nothing new under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Is there no escape from the frustrating, spinning, and buffering wheel of life?
Well, yes there is, and you can stop the little irritating wheel immediately spinning inside your head.
So, follow these simple steps to stop the spinning wheel of life going on inside your mind.
Step 1, give Your Heart to Jesus Christ. Just say, 'Jesus, come into my heart and fill me with your peace and love."
Step 2, says, "If any man be in Christ, He is a new creation, old things are passed away and all things become new." (2Corinthians 5:14-21)
The Holy Spirit will come into your life, slow down the spinning wheel, and bring it to a gentle stop. Now, you can clearly hear the Music of God (Or Love) inside your head and calming you down and covering your sins and short comings and eliminating the obnoxious spinning wheel of life.
Now, rejoice and Praise God, who loves you and gave himself for you by dying in your place.
The spinning wheel of life has not only stopped but has been replaced by the Loving Circle of Jesus wrapping you inside His strong and protective arms.
Welcome home, My Child.
