It Takes Obedience
One of the special parts of vacation-time is sitting along the lake, and just doing nothing at all!
I did that one morning along Lake Michigan, just as the sun was coming up about 5:30. It was beautiful! A few moments before, and the lake was dark and calm. But suddenly the sun arose and every tiny wave responded, reflecting the sun in a golden pathway stretching from my seat to the opposite side of the lake.
The waves didn’t question their need to reflect the sun…they just did it, in perfect obedience.
I thought to myself…”Why can’t we as God’s children do the same? Why are we so concerned about reflecting our own glory, or making the almighty dollar, or being so busy in doing nothing? Why cannot we too be obedient to the rays of God’s love and simply reflect them to make a golden pathway for others to see His glory?
Maybe it’s not a profound idea, but it seems as though I should do a better job in reflecting his Glory rather than being so concerned about my own.
