Under the Spout
|
UNDER THE SPOUT (Text version) One time I went to the store and could not get the coffee bean machine to grind. No matter what I did I couldn’t get it to work. I finally remembered that the machine would not grind the beans unless the bag was in the right position directly under the spout! There was an electric eye on it to make sure the bag was in the right place for the beans to pour out. Wow what a mess that would be if it weren’t for that eye! The Bible says that the eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to fully support and strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9) When you fully give your life to the Lord, it is just like that coffee bag placed under the spout. His eye sees you line up perfectly with His desires for you and then He is ready to pour good gifts into your life because He knows you will receive all the good things He has prepared! What a mess our lives would be if we did not receive what He had to give! How do we line up with God? We obey His Word in the Bible and we learn to love Him and love others. I am so glad we are at the very center of His loving eyes! 1Pe 3:12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and His ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns His face against those who do evil.” |
