Sitting in front of the computer, I am working away in a given program and then I get a pop up screen that says, "Upgrade available". My mind is on what program I'm using and so I say, "Later". Well sometimes you get an email that says, "You have a FREE upgrade for _____ program." So you think, I guess I need to upgrade and reply to the email only to see the blue screen of death flash in your face.
Naturally you become slow to upgrade your computer because you are not sure of the results.
Well we all get the upgrade message every morning when we get out of bed and get started for our work. The Lord nudges us with the thought "Upgrade available". That upgrade comes from spending time in His word and having a little talk with Him each day. Yet many of us normally hit the delete button in our minds or the "later" button.
It does not take long for us to start and finish each day without an upgrade to our lives. Then we wonder why we get sluggish, frustrated, insecure, anger easily, and many times depressed. It is because you did not get today's upgrade to spend a little time with the Lord. It does not have to be hours on end but just to do two things. Open your heart to learn something from Him and to communicate with Him. He will dump his love, direction, and peace on you for today. Then tomorrow you will be ready for your next upgrade.
As for me I am getting upgrade 21,535.0. I have not uploaded each one since becoming a Christ Follower, but I know the Lord has had that upload there for me.
Are you going to hit the "delete" button each day or maybe the "later" button. Why not just hit the "Upload Now" button in your life and see what happens next. You will be amazed at the great program the Lord has for your life today.
