Driving
past an empty field the other day I saw a pair of ducks floating in a
puddle. I wanted to stop and tell them that there was a beautiful farm
pond only half-a-mile away, but I realized the silliness of the thought
even as I sped past.
I think I'm like those
ducks--contentedly sitting in my muddy puddle, satisfied with so little
when God has so much more for me. I sit and twiddle my toes in mud
instead of moving to the place God wants me to bea place of blessing
and great riches. A place where God can use me.
Why do I do that? It's easier to stay in my cozy hole than it it to
face the unknown. It's easier to sit in my puddle than to spread my
wings and fly to a spot I've only heard is 'just over there'. It's
easier to mind my own business than to possibly embarrass myself.
I cannot know the riches of His glory while sitting in my
little mud puddle. I need to move to the pond God has for me in order
to experience the surpassing greatness of His power. Father, open the
eyes of my heart that I may know the hope of Your calling.
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened,
so
that your may know what is the hope of His calling,
what
are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who
believe."
Ephesians 1:18-19 (NAS)

Just some skin, bones and a bag of dust God looks at us and perhaps wonders why do we look at our or others achievements and forget that it all comes from Him, our Creator?
I Went From a Believer to an Unbeliever ... in Evolution A point came when I knew it took more faith to believe in Evolution - than the Creation Account of Genesis. Doubt this? Here are five basic evolutionary beliefs that require a faith more massive than any Biblical Creationist must muster.
