Has Your Clock Stopped ...

Has your clock stopped ticking????

1 Samuel 1:7”So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.”

We have a huge collection of wall clocks adorning all over the walls of our school, Abide

Angel Home, Church and in our home. Suddenly I found many of them stopped ticking, we did check them out with batteries (not new, though) but they refused to budge. Frustrated I just piled them up on the top shelf, many of them were pretty new, we had a hectic time without clocks and the right time had not come to replace them or buy new ones. One day I picked out one among them and took it for repairs, oh, all it took for the beautiful clock to again start dancing was a fresh piece of battery! Excited, I gathered all of them in a bag and took it to the same shop, unflustered by the dust and dirt, the clock repairer went about checking them. Having found the machines in good condition, he inserted fresh batteries into each of them and there they were shaking their legs! I dusted, cleaned and fixed them in their respective places. Oh boy! All my clocks were ticking and working!

I am speaking to someone out there today! All it needs is a fresh piece of battery to get you back on your toes! Yeah, the battery is the time spent with God, without which you are exhausted, frustrated, discouraged, angry gathering dust on the top shelf doing nothing. Do you hear me? Have you stopped ticking?
