It’s the weirdest things at times that remind us of the Heavenly Father and His grace for us. Can pipe pouring water have any link to God?
There were four objects that caught my eye:
1. a bath tub
2. A water container
3. A shower head
4. A shower flow controller
Fiddling with the flow
What does plumbing have to do with God? I know it’s easier to think about pottery and him fashioning us in His likeness, but let me explain. As the water poured in to the container, I realized it did so without hindrance. Then it hit me. Just as the water flows freely, so does the blessings of God. But there is a BUT!!! This happens only if we allow it. We keep playing with the flow controller. Jesus is ready and willing to pour the blessings upon us but we tend to prefer leaving the pipe flow half open, quarter open or unfortunately even off. We do this by drifting away from His precepts, clearly stated in the Bible. Why would we want such an unfortunate thing to happen to us? Keep it open and the blessing will flow.
Source cutoff/Pipe clogging
At times the flow control will seem to be left open on full to you, yet there are no blessings coming. There must be a problem with the source you say. This is where some start to curse God and other invite the hand of doubt in their minds. Well the source is where you think the concern is, but there is no problem there. The problem is you. Maybe, just maybe He chose to channel the flow in a different direction, as He does not see it fit to let His blessings travel your route anymore because there is a clog. A clog of self, time wasting, constant prevaricating and many more. Remove the clog and the blessings will come gushing again, maybe trickle at first but it will reach.
In time all will be seen
The container was not filled in one shot. This brings me to my next point, TIME. It took quite a while for the water container to be filled. This applies to the acquiring of blessings. It takes time to receive the blessings, and with each interval it allows us time to bask in them and thank God once more for His mercy and grace.
Fill my cup let it overflow
Finally it was filled, to the brim. The bible says God is faithful and just to provide all our needs. This will only happen if we follow His commandments. At times there will be over flow, so much that you are going to wonder what is happening. This is where the bath tub comes in. This represents the people who you can share your blessings with and hopefully witness to them. Let them see that you praise and worship a God with rooms and storehouses rife with blessings. Never let the extra blessings go down the drain.
Standing your ground
If I moved the bottle from its position, it’s inevitable that that water would not reach it. In order for us to receive the good omens promised to us, we have to stand our ground, never giving up and striving for spiritual victory through Gods strength.
