ADJUST YOUR RADIO AND TV ANTENNAS

by Humberto Resto © 2023

1- I woke up one winter morning surrounded by many thoughts and I spoke with our Father God, HE said enjoy my word take my hand and you will be guided by the Holy Spirit out of your morning fog.

2- I said okay but-but God I feel my journey gets hard every day, ITS not that I'm slipping it's when I turn on the TV the news reveals that the world keeps going astray.

3- When I turn on the car radio the sin is so loud, THE music is catered to feed cheering crowds.

4- What your precious word says is a sin, MAN now accepts with praise and laughter and big worldly grins.

5- I watch on the news my brothers and sisters rising up against sin and they are told to be quite and are smacked on the chin, AND when my sisters and brothers rise up for Jesus, they get looked down on for believing that this world is full of sin.

6- On the talk shows and media we hear that their are many paths to God, AND when we share about our resurrected Lord and Savior Jesus Christ they say we're acting like hogs.

7- Saying how dare we throw mud passing judgement on them when the times have all changed, BECAUSE in faith we're still following the Bible that they say hasn't been upgraded and that it's outdated wording needs to be rearranged.

8- Oh this country was founded by men and women who loved God, BUT today many just follow and accept sinful blogs.

9- Many people want to feel happy becoming successful at a compromised cost while fake smiling to the world every day, SHOWING up to their jobs and from 9 to 5 forget that it's wrong fudging numbers and succeeding by doing everything the bosses way.

10- And when your co-worker starts sneezing some think twice before saying God bless you today, BECAUSE our blessings might result in work space violations and Human Resources will be notified right away.

11- And at Christmas dinners in some work places we don't see the name Jesus Christ at all, OR like Humpty Dumpty many fear that their careers will have a great fall.

12- I've seen men rubbing the Bible like a Jeanie's lamp turning to God as a last resort while waiting for a wish to come true, THEY get mad when He doesn't answer and God looks down and I think aren't They afraid he'll say depart I don't know you?

13- I feel better my God thank you for listening to me I'm loved and employed by you, AT my workplace and home every where that I walk my love and faith for you remains true.

14- Yes Lord I remember When I was young televisions and radios had antennas, that we would twist and turn so that we could hear or see better, AND some would twist balls of aluminum foil or coat hangers onto the antennas, to remove static or snowy images during bad weather!

15- I also remember taking my radio with its antenna and running from room to room, TRYING to catch the perfect signal, so I could sing along with my favorite tune.

16- It's like searching for a favorite prayer room, WHERE in your inner peace your precious love and words In our hearts and mind will bloom.

17 - God I remember when you said rooftop and home antenas, one day man will take them all down, BUT from creation your powerful words have been wireless, and have been shared all around the world and in the tiniest town.

18-And you said whenever I see those metal antennas to remember what you say, THAT iron sharpens iron and and if we share your word that united all together with you we won't slip or stray.

19- Since that day I've seen blind men see Jesus and the deaf hear God's word,
WHILE the world around us act like John 3:16 they never saw or heard.

20- So let's adjust our invisible antennas and pick up and share God's word that is true, THANK you Jesus for edifying my thought life and removing thoughts that were not of you.

21- Man can remove all of the worlds antennas but God's word to his children remains clear, SO let's continue to share our Lord Jesus so that when he returns all who see Him will cheer!

22- With a smile on my face and inner peace in my heart I stepped outside and looked up with a pause, I saw an old roof top antenna and said "oh snap"it looks like a cross.

John 3:16 NIV
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son.

Proverbs 27 vs 17: NIV
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

Mathew 28vs 16-20 NIV
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in Heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
