Are You in Sync with God?

August 1, 2011 By Dale Fletcher 4 Comments

My wife recently gave me an iPad as a gift. (Thank you again Janice!) I’ve been using it pretty much every day and found that it’s been enjoyable to use and it also increase my productivity.

About two times each week I find that I need to sync the iPad with my Macbook Pro laptop so that my calendars, contacts and downloaded applications are in sync with each other. Being consistent with this process of syncing my iPhone with my laptop is pretty important or otherwise the right information will not be in both devices.

In the same vein, it’s important that we be in sync with God on a regular basis. Going to church one day a week will not keep us in sync. The best way to do this is by spending time with him daily and especially by reading the Bible. It’s the Bible that helps us understand who God is and what his Son has done for us. We get to know God best by reading about him and spending time reflecting or meditating on the scriptures.

One of the Spiritual Exercises that I have identified for living and abundant life is Abide in Jesus.  Jesus tells us in John 15:5

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.  John 15:5

When I abide in Jesus by reading his Word and by praying and meditating on the scripture found in his Word it helps me to stay in step with him… in sync with him, if you will.

When I am in sync with God, life goes better for me… and I imagine life goes better with you too.

Questions to Reflect and Comment On:

How do you stay in sync with God?  How frequently do you engage in this behavior?

      Hi Denika, This term is not used in the Bible, that I am aware of. But it could mean that if a person is in ‘divine synchronization’ then he/she would be in (synchronized with) God’s will for their life. This is what I would say. ~ Dale

    First and foremost, I love the way you used the technology of today as an example to help us learn a way to stay closer to God.It is so true that in our modern lives (myself included) Technology often becomes the God.We are so busy emailing, Socializing, or Tweeting on-line that we forget to take time to pray. For me the message is to put my life in sync by going back to a balance of time spent with God not just technology.
