Joe Prainito Audio Devotional

Have you ever waited in line to go on a Roller Coaster for hours, only to find that you got sick afterwards? Up and down, loop de loops, and finally you think to yourself “I should have just went on the Carousel”. Yes the Rollercoaster can be a scary and sickening adventure but there is one thing that is always reassuring, and that’s the fact that there is an operator of the ride who knows the track like the back of his hand; he knows when the ride goes up and down. The operator of the ride knows when it could get scary, and when it is nice and easy. The operator knows when it’s going to be a rough ride, or a smooth ride. He even knows that the Roller Coaster may very well make us sick; but the most comforting thing to everybody on that Roller Coaster is in knowing that the operator is there to make sure that we stay on track, and make it off the ride safely.

You know life can be a lot like a Roller Coaster; we have our ups and down, and sometimes we even have our loops. There are times when life is smooth, when other times life can be very rough. But the good news is that we too have an operator for this ride of life; that’s right, God is in control of our life. He knows when the ride may get scary, rough, and even sickening. But one thing is for sure; God is in control.

Ecclesiastes 7:14 says-when times are good be happy but when times are bad we must consider that God has made the good as well as the bad, therefore no man can determine his days.

This life is guaranteed to have its twists and turns, downs and ups, but let us be reassured; God knows our life, and ultimately His desire is to bring us home.

Have you ever met someone who appeared to be a Godly person. Somebody who stood upright, and stood out from amongst the world. Sure you’ve see them as they’ve carried their Bible into Church, spoke with a tamed toungue, and appeared to carry the virtue of love; the kind of person you’ve desired to be. However when their away from the Church there’s a different person that surfaces; a dirty talking, foul living individual who goes to church, but the fruit of a changed life is nowhere to be found on this tree. The question is-who are you fooling? Potty talk makes us look foolish, dirty joking reveals a heart rooted in perversion. And how is God glorified, and Christ represented amongst all of this?

Matthew 5:13 tells us that we are to be the light of Jesus to the world, a city on a hill. We’re even told to be like salt; a flavor that is easily recognized  amongst men. Yes we’re to live a life that represents our changed life. A life that represents the Love, and dedication that we have for the Lord.

So listen, if you’ve found your light to be growing dim, or your salt to be losing its flavor, then let me encourage you. Put away all filth and lust. Clean up your language, so you can be a clear representation of Christ to the world. And represent what God can do in a life just like yours.

Have you ever found yourself to be in a Restaurant, ready to say grace while that specific prayer time gets continuously interrupted? Or maybe you’ve been at home in prayer, only to find yourself watching the clock or easily distracted by the telephone? I know; you’ve gone into your prayer closet to pray but found yourself cleaning the closet instead. Listen life can be quite busy in and of itself, but if we’re finding that our communication, and conversation with God is suffering, and even taking a back seat to the importance of your communication with the waiter at the restaurant, then it’s apparent, you’ve got a problem with your prayer life.

Hebrews 4:16 says to come boldly to the throne of grace in prayer

Psalms 37:4 tells us that our prayer is a delight to the Lord and He desires to hear our prayers

So listen, next time you find yourself with divided attention in your prayers; remember that the Lord yearns for this time with you, so delight yourself in Him, with some one on one conversation.
