TOPIC: Prayer is your connection to God

‘Cry to God all day and all night for the fulfilment of his promises.’
Isaiah 62:6 TLB

The remora fish has an oval sucking disc on the top of its head that allows it to attach itself to the underside of a shark. Once attached, the remora does not have to worry about food, transportation, or safety. It feeds on the food that falls from the shark’s mouth. Of course, it has the option of swimming on its own, but when it decides to attach to the shark, it goes where the shark goes. It does not attempt to go in a direction contrary to the shark. Protection? It’s a non-issue for one that’s connected to such a powerful creature. The remora is secure, and it knows the shark can take it places it could never go alone.

Doesn’t this sound like the relationship God desires His children to have with Him? He wants us to feed on the words that come from His mouth. He wants us to go with Him where He leads and not take off on independent excursions, hoping He will tag along. He wants us to live with the assurance that He will protect not only our lives, but also our relationships and all that pertains to us.

Oh, that we would emulate the remora! We would then find ourselves securing our attachment to God on a daily basis through prayer. He is waiting to carry us to places we fear going alone. The prophet Isaiah admonished the Jewish leaders: ‘Cry to God all day and all night for the fulfilment of his promises.’ So the word for today is this – prayer is your connection to God.
