History

There's a habit that I've gotten into since I first received my MacBook Pro.

After I switch from one web page to the next, I clear the history. 

Yes, after every single web page switch.

For example, if I'm on Facebook, and I want to go to Youtube, I click on 'Youtube' in my Bookmarks bar and then immediately go to the History tab and click 'Clear History...' so that there is no history left from the previous web page. And I do all of that without even thinking about it!

But, there is a very good reason that I clear the history after every page. 

The internet server that I work off of in my house generally has a relatively bad connection, and it causes web pages to load very slowly. And so, when I was first testing out ways to make web pages load more quickly, one of the things I tried was clearing the history. After I had done so, the web page that I had been trying to connect to loaded almost instantly! It was rather miraculous in my opinion.

So, since then I have become accustomed to habitually clearing my history, since it helps my internet to function properly.

When we sin, we are cut off from God; we are hindering our relationship with Him. We can't move forward in our faith if we have sins blocking our blessings.

We become like my internet when I don't clear the history: disconnected. 

God wants to free us from our sin (clear our history for us), so that our relationship with Him (our web pages) can be whole and intact (can operate properly and be fully functional).

So, go now and ask God to release you from the bind of sin so that you can be bound to Him through Jesus Christ who's wounds have paid our ransom!

AMEN.
