Just A Thought April 15, 2008

I was doing my laundry Sunday morning before church, and I noticed that the washing detergent now comes in a smaller packaging. It SAYS "ultra concentrated" (meaning that you can do the same amount of laundry with less detergent) but I wasn't so sure. Anyways I went ahead and began getting ready for church and it hit me, why not? Isn't God "ultra concentrated?"

When you look over your life and think about the way of the world, we are taught that we need more. More is classified and recognized by bigger. We make more money, we buy bigger things.......we learn more, we get bigger checks (in a perfect world :-), but you get my point.

Not so when you think about God and His amazing grace. The bible talks to us about small things doing "big" works all the time.Don't believe me? Ask yourself this:

Of all that he blesses you with, how much does he ask of you to give?

What did David use to fight Goliath?

What can you do with faith the size of a mustard seed?

What exactly did Jesus use to feed a multitude of people?

What does it take to be saved?

While the answers to these questions are small, they enable you to do gigantic things. So yeah, "ultra concentrated," is not only possible, but right.........God's grace is so "ultra concentrated" that he is able to bestow it upon you, and EVERYONE else. ( EVEN those that don't believe) How awesome is that?

All the "stuff" that took up room in your life begins to clear itself out when you submit to Him. You find yourself having more joy, peace, love, and _________ (you fill in the blank) than you ever had before. Maybe the world is finally starting to catch on.............
