Power outages

We had a huge wind storm yesterday. The gusts reached over 70 miles an hour in some spots.We usually lose power wheni t gets windy, but thankfully we didn't this time. Others were not as fortunate. A lot lost power. Driving home from work last night(12:30am) I saw some crews out,and at breakfast this am., I saw some come in to eat. They were either working all night, or getting an early start. These are the real heroes. Doing really thankless, dangerous work,tying to get people up and running again.I'm so thankful for them. It takes a lot for the powere to go out sometimes. In my walk with The Lord I have to be careful not to let "the power" go out. It can happen pretty easily if I neglect Him,get lazy in my Bible reading/devotions, get"too busy" to give Him proper place and attention.Proverbs says it best:"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest; so shall your need come in like a robber, and your want like an armed man".(I apply that spiritually)Lord, help me to be consistant in my walk with you.
