I accidentally
bumped the basket
housing all of my husband's
sports equipment.
As soon as the basket
and the vacuum collided,
a basketball
came rolling out of the basket
and across the floor.
And right then and there,
God spoke
a powerful truth
to my heart.
As we go through life,
no doubt,
you and I
are going to experience
the jar of life.
It's inevitable, isn't it?
And yet,
these very collisions,
these very unexpected "meetings"
that often leave us
feeling knocked around
and misplaced,
are the very things
God can use
to reposition us
and "set us free"
to fulfill our God-given destiny.
A basketball wasn't created
to sit
in a basket.
It was created
to roll, bounce, and move.
You and I weren't created
to sit
in the basket of life,
either.
God created us
to LIVE,
and move,
and experience life
in and though Him.
For in him we live,
and move and have our being.
~Acts 17:28
Today,
look at your life
from a spiritual vantage point.
Stop and survey
your life
from a place
(possibly on your knees
in prayer)
that allows you
to see
the overall picture.
Could it be
the very thing,
the very one,
the very circumstance
that is threatening
to rock your world,
is the very thing
Jesus can and will use
to reposition you,
to place you
where you need to be,
to set you free?
Just a thought
that came to me
while vacuuming . . . ~♥
