The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. -Chinese Proverb
Romans 8:37-39, Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Over the past week, we have been troubleshooting an air conditioning unit that hasn’t been working up to par at work. It started last Wednesday when we got an email from the facility administrator saying that it seemed to be getting hot further into the day they went. The next day we checked the system out and found what we thought was the problem. A couple of days later, the same thing happened. I was off that day but the guys I work with found a wiring issue, made the correction, and the unit was cooling again. This past Wednesday afternoon, we got another email- “HOT AGAIN, PLEASE HELP!” The fellas got to the sight and began troubleshooting the system. WOW! A blower motor was off. Got it going. A condenser fan motor wasn’t coming on. Bypassed a switch—got it going. All four compressors running, refrigerant level okay, and cold air is pumping- so we thought. We get back to the shop and pull up the system to view how low the temp has gotten… nope, a 72-degree supply air temp isn’t good! We decided to go in early on Friday. We got there, started taking panels off to inspect some fire dampers. We couldn’t see very well so I grabbed my flashlight and exposed the problem; a building pressure control damper was closed causing the unit to malfunction, causing all of the other problems. Temporarily disconnected the control for the damper, system reset, and all is working like it should with a 55-degree supply air temp.
Why did I tell you all of that? Well, you may not see you have a problem. Those around you do. God does too and He is going to have to remove a few panels and shine the light of His Word on the problem. Then and only then can you have victory over sin and shame.
Don’t give up on God. Let Him work in and through your life so you can work like He designed you to. So GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH and let the Holy Spirit work on your life with the Word of God.
