Have You Lost Something?
“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8-9
I have discovered that one of the main reasons to stay married is to help each other find stuff. Whenever I lose something, my wife, Amanda, always asks me, “Where did you have it last?”
“Where are my keys?”
“Where did you have them last?”
“Where’s my wallet?”
“Where did you have it last?”
“Where’s my phone?”
“Where did you have it last?”
“Where’s my nose hair trimmers?”
“Where did you have it last?”
A while back, I was cutting up a couple of old dead trees for firewood. I had my chainsaw, bar and chain oil, gas, saw file, and a scrench. What’s a scrench? A scrench is a tool that combines a screwdriver and a wrench. It is used to adjust the tension on your chainsaw blade.
So, I was out cutting firewood. I noticed the chain on the chainsaw needed tightening. I looked down and saw the gas, oil, and file. However, I couldn’t find the scrench.
I started looking for the scrench. I looked under the gas can. I got down on my knees and crawled around looking for it in the grass. Then I thought, maybe I left it in the tool shed. I went to the shed and I looked and looked. I tore the shed apart. When I finished looking, it looked like a bomb had gone off in the shed. But I still couldn’t find it. I was getting frustrated.
Earlier, I had gone into the house to get a drink. Did I leave it in the house? I went inside.
I looked in the laundry room. I looked in the living room. I looked in the kitchen. I even went into the bedroom and tore the covers off the bed, just in case the scrench was somehow in the covers.
After I looked for about an hour, I remembered my wife’s words, “Where did you have it last?” I thought, “I am pretty sure that I had it out by the old dead tree.” So, I went out to where I had been working earlier. I looked, and I looked, and I looked. I could not find the scrench. I was mad at this point.
Amanda came outside and said, “Are you still looking for that screwdriver thingee?” I said, “Yes, and it’s called a scrench.” She smiled at me and said, “It’s right there sticking out of your back pocket.”
The point is, if you have lost something, the best place to look is the last place you had it. Do you know where I found that scrench? Right where I left it? Do you know where your joy is? Right where you left it? Do you know where your peace is? Right where you left it? Do you know where your passion is? Right where you left it? Do you know where your fire is for Jesus? Right where you left it?
Jesus is right where you left Him. Reconnect with Him today and experience renewed joy and peace in your faith journey.
