Perhaps it’s happened to you. The laptop you’re working on freezes, and no amount of key tapping brings it back to life and usefulness again. And so, you adopt a policy that’s often employed when these moments come: you switch off and power the machine back up again. Rebooting, restarting or resetting – whichever word we choose – often refreshes and restores overtaxed circuits. Something similar is true of us humans. Obviously, we’re not machines – in fact, as we’ll see, our brains are capable of changes and revisions far beyond the scope of the most sophisticated super-computer – but in our hearts and lives, we all need a ‘reset’ from time to time. As apprentices of Jesus, we want to live life God’s way, fulfilling His will and purposes daily.
There are many examples of God ‘resetting’ His people in Scripture. We are going to initially focus on one man who was wonderfully used by the Lord, but who found himself in a cave of despair. He desperately needed a reset. His name was Elijah. Then, as we draw near to the Advent season and Christmas, we will take time to ponder the events around the greatest ‘reset’ there has ever been – the coming of Christ from the throne of heaven to the manger of Bethlehem – the rescuer of us all.
