Tuning In
Psalm 130:5 'I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.'
 I bought a new radio. I took it home, switched it on and waited for the magic to begin. To my dismay, all that emanated from the speakers was a monotonous humming sound. No rhythm, no beat, just humming. I took it back to the store and demanded a refund. The salesman asked if I'd tuned it in to the right station. I was confused. 'What do you mean "tune it in"?' I asked. 'I thought you just had to turn it on and it did the rest for you!' When it comes to laying hold of a vision for our lives, we need to tune in to God's wavelength so that we're not listening to AM while he's playing on FM. I think the Lord probably talks to us more often than we realise - we just haven't taken time to tune in. Tuning in is what the Bible calls 'waiting on God' or 'seeking God's face'. These terms are used often in the Bible, so this is an important principle. We need to spend time regularly retuning our lives to God's wavelength, in prayer, in the word of God and in fellowship with other Christians.
Prayer: 'Father, I want to spend time today tuning in to your wavelength. I open my heart and my mind so that you can speak to me. Speak to me from your word today.'

My son is 21 months old & has full Edward's Syndrome. He is a happy, beautiful child & gives so much to so many people. His life is as worthy as any other child. I believe the medical profession should help parents to want to give their children a chance of survival.

EDGES is very helpful and informative from the Bible's point of view. Do please keep up the good work.

I think yours was the best and most succinct critique I've yet read on 'The Da Vinci Code'. As you say, we can still use it as a platform for presenting the real gospel.
