Fluid & Faith

I know this goes without saying... as it also probably comes as no surprise either; so just consider it a friendly reminder.

Everything works better when fluid levels are at their proper and recommended amounts.

Coolant to maintain even operation levels.
Oil to ensure smooth moving parts
Water for proper hydration of the body.

There are hints along the way that something isn't right either... long before there are warning lights and signs indicating that there's a problem. Mom and Dad can always tell... you haven't been drinking enough water lately have you?

Likewise, the same thing happens spiritually. I can always tell when I'm not getting enough of the living water of Jesus Christ. And it probably shows, more obvious on some days than others. People might not know that's whats missing, but on this #missionsFriday, it's missing for all of us.

As Pastor stated during the Wednesday night devotional, as we grow and mature in the faith, so does one's understanding of just how big is our God. Growing faith reveals and reflects a bigger God... what He means, how He works and what He can accomplish.

Meanwhile, a life without Christ and a life with very little of Christ is going to show clear, early signs of trouble. The longer matters go unattended the trajectory for problems rises... which always lead to bigger repairs that take longer to correct.

Thanks for joining me this #missionsFriday. Let us pray, today would be a day of revelation, that many would recognized their need for Christ. Whether on the mission field abroad or at home, may God do a work in peoples hearts and minds that He is indeed the living water that creates an environment for purpose and direction. Pray for missionaries as they go about their day; may God strengthen and energize their lives; that the battles and challenges they face would not deplete them in any way from advancing the Gospel message of Christ and the Cross.

May we be people, full of faith.
Full of the Spirit.
Full of the Word.
Presenting Living Water
To a world dying of spiritual thirst.
For the glory of God.
