S.M.A.R.T.

I never thought that it would happen, but it did. I'm always saying that these are the best computers on the planet, but believe it or not, even the best messes up every now and then. The hard drive on my iMac failed, it's good thing that I just bought an external hard drive to back everything up, so thanks be to God that everything isn't lost.

You're probably wondering why in the world am I telling you this, but whoever built my computer programmed it in such a way that when the hard drive is about to fail, it will send you an alert so that you can take the proper steps to back it up, before you get rid of it.  The name of the technology is called S.M.A.R.T it stands for "Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology".  Apparently SMART told me that this hard drive can't be repaired, but I need to go see a specialist immediately.  


It dawned on me that there are a lot of us out there walking around, and our hard drives are about to fail, shut down, and collapse.  Did you realize that God gave you your own S.M.A.R.T system...it's called the Holy Spirit.  Constantly the Holy Spirit is telling us that our hard drive is about to fail, and you need another one.  


You know what David found himself with a hard drive failure, and he was in desperate need of a new one.  Psalm 51:10 says, Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me...Check that, I love how The Message by Eugene Patterson puts it....God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. 


I love it...make a Genesis in me...a fresh start, the origin and formation of something new because my hard drive is failing...my hard drive is making me do things that I know displeases you. Who am I talking to through this blog? Are you having a chaotic moment in your life? When you look back, at all the stuff that you've been through, that's not through with you leaving you in a state of paralysis?  Then you need a new hard drive, not just simply erasing it, but a whole new one all together. 


I guess you can say S.M.A.R.T stands for Start Making A Real Transformation....that best I could come up with, maybe you can think of one that will be better. To be honest it would be really "SMART" if you turn to God....Right NOW!!!


Be Made NEW!!!
