We were desperate. We
had lost a very valuable item. We had
lost control and we needed it back! The
TV remote was missing! Now our only
option was to unplug the device from the power source. No longer could we choose channels or volume.
Just as the woman in Jesus' parable about the lost coin
(Luke 15: 8-10) we developed a strategy.
Our plan was to systematically unpack and organize the moving boxes. Together we tackled the hunt.
Good News: The lost
was found. Apparently we were standing
next to remote the whole time. It was
under a pile of books. All we had to do
was move the obstacles.
Perhaps there is a spiritual implication. To grow our spiritual life, we need to focus
on the treasure, relationship with God, have a plan and adhere to it, join forces with
others on the same mission and move the obstacles, our own hindrances and the
distractions of the world.
