Week Two: Day 3 – Be the Soil

I remember one day specifically we were reading from the Psalms and this little nugget jumps out at me and says, “Lord, I love the house in which you dwell and the place where your glory abides.” And when you think about that for a minute, if God is in us and God is a part of who we are and flourishes in us then he actually dwells inside of us. And so I am actually that dwelling place. And so sometimes, like when planting a garden, you plant the seed but there has got to be a time when things are happening beneath the soil that you don’t know what’s going on and what’s happening. But eventually there is going to be something start to sprout out of the ground and it is not by anything that you did really except to be the soil and to give it a chance. And yet something begins to flourish and something begins to bloom but we have to sometimes be patient and let that happen and remember that God in us is working what we cannot do ourselves.
