Last week I was caught up on my studies so I stayed home an extra hour in the morning. I had in my mind what seemed like a million things I wanted to get done that day before class.
As I was drying my hair, I heard a click, the power went off. So as cool as a cucumber I sat the blowdryer down and went onto my next task.
I thought well now would be a great time to call and pay that bill. As I picked up the phone, I realized the phone only works through the internet and at that moment it didn't work because the electricity was off.
So I turned on my computer, pulled up my e-mail and started reading a devotion. As I got to the middle, I needed to click on a link to read the rest, and you guessed it, it didn't work.
Next I went into the kitchen and all of the cereal was gone and the stove didn't work. Obviously I wasn't getting to eat.
Suddenly the thought came to mind I will just sit in the Lord's presence just me and the Bible and talk with God and read His word. I don't need an online devotion. The Lord desires that I spend time with Him sometimes without anything else.
That morning my time with Him was wonderful and I left feeling refreshed and renewed. Sometimes things that seem bad are a blessing in disguise. I thank God for the power outage that day.
