BVOV Magazine 2013 - present

Editor’s Letter Reboot, and Begin Again! I’m no computer geek! No doubt, there’s a handful of technicians in our IT department who would agree. I guess you could say I know just enough to be considered dangerous. But because I’m not computer savvy, I’m probably the happiest person in the world when I reboot my computer after a sudden crash happens as I’m working on something important. The image on the screen signals the system is back to normal and that everything is working fine, and I know my files are safe and I can get on with my work. A simple reboot! That’s all it took. I turned off the computer, waited a few seconds before restarting it, and presto! I was back in business. That’s how it seems sometimes with our spiritual lives. Something happens that impacts our lives in such an unexpected or drastic way—something (like a pandemic) that draws us away from our normal routine and presents us with a bunch of uncertainties. We can become so focused on the issues around us that we lose sight of where we were headed. It may even cause a disconnect between God and us. Obviously, God doesn’t see us as computers but as His sons and daughters. He understands that, somewhere along the line, we will make mistakes—we may say or do things we shouldn’t and suddenly we’re facing unpleasant consequences. He recognizes when we have become distracted and disconnected from Him. And because of His love, mercy and grace, God is always ready, willing and able to make things right—to give us a reboot. He’s ready to hit the reset button on our lives and correct our bad attitudes concerning circumstances or situations that we have no control over. He’s ready to forgive our wrongs and forget they ever happened, and wipe our records clean. Then He gives us a fresh start. Everything is restored and returned to normal. First John 1:9, "The Message," tells us: “If we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing.” In other words, God will give us a reboot. I hope you enjoy the exciting articles we’ve prepared for you in this issue. Blessings, Ronald C.
