Growing up, we didn't have remote control television; we were the remote. When Pops wanted to watch one of the three channels we received, he would tell one of us children to change the television to whichever channel he wanted to check out, usually, only to change it back to the channel he was watching.
Even today, we are prone to spend twenty minutes looking for the remote instead of getting up and changing the television manually. It is in these instances that we realize that the television doesn't change itself, you have to change it.
Today's word is something I came across, which reminds me that I have to do something: "Life has no remote: you have to get up to change it."
We can continue to sit on the couch and complain about how bad things are and continue on the course we are on. You know the old saying, "If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting." The only way to change what's going on is to try and change what is going on. If you continue to wait for the channel to change, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
If you are tired of seeing the same things happen in your life over and over like some rerun of a really bad movie, get up and change the channel. The challenge is for us to trust in GOD, to rely on His guidance, and to get up and do something, for life has no remote.
Be Blessed,
