Bridgeway Christian Church

Hi Everybody -

I just wanted to drop a note to you that was kind of a devotional for the week.

Recently I was in our backyard and thinking about our drip system (sprinkler system). I realized that if all the water that poured out from the main source hit any of the plants it would blow them away and destroy them. Instead the huge power source is distributed to all the lines and all the specific drippers and sprinklers that are set for each group of plants. Some lead to sprinklers that spray on 3 or more plants. Some small drippers are individual and gently give a sensitive plant what it needs. It takes a master gardener to know what each plant needs and how to distribute it’s life-giving water. 

Imagine what would happen if God intensified all of His power on someone.  Then imagine if God distributed his glory and power through all of us.  Each of us has a different capacity which depends on where we are to water.

As Christ followers you tend to be the sprinkler sort, but every once in a while someone just needs a little drip (because they can’t handle any more).  We all get water from the same source and no one sprinkler/drip is better than another.  Without us distributing God’s love and power, the world dries and dies.

We are doing the right thing.

Take a moment today and thank the Lord for your incredible blessing of serving Him.

Take a moment to thank Him for the incredible things He’s blessed you with.

Cultivate a thankful heart.

And lead with all grace and power.

Thank you all for what you do.
