The Great I Am is the Powerhouse
Source of the life we have.
Jesus is the outlet that joins us to the Powerhouse
Without Him we are useless.
We are all unique appliances each with different functions:
Flood lamps lighting the way for many
Search lights pointing to the destination
Nightlights showing the way for one child lost in darkness
Extension cords enabling one to reach another
Reaching far and wide across continents
Radios broadcasting His Word and singing His praises
Computers reaching world wide in all languages
Cell phones reaching one individual at a time
Batteries charged up, going to remote places, to power a light, to show the way
Sewing machines joining people together
Washing machines cleansing dirty hearts and minds
Mixers blending folks together into a team
Vacuum cleaners cleaning up messes others leave behind
Irons smoothing out ruffled attitudes and wrinkles in plans
Pencil sharpeners shaving off useless distractions so we can make a strong point
Air purifiers, cleansing the unwanted, clearing the air
Smoke alarms warning that fiery danger is imminent
Clocks reminding us time is short so make the most of it
Fans cooling off the hot tempered or bringing refreshing breeze
Space heaters thawing out icy hearts
Heating pads soothing one weary traveler
Furnaces, unseen, providing warmth and encouragement for all
All of us make this world we are passing through an easier place to live
But without the Power House and the Outlet none of us can work
What appliance are you?
Are you plugged in?
