What's wrong with this picture? Some may say it's not the prettiest boat they have ever seen, or it's not the fastest boat. The thing that's most wrong with this picture is that the boat is not in water and is therefore useless. On Sunday mornings many of us get all dressed up and we look really nice, but we are not being used how God intended us to be used. A boat out of water is nothing more than a "lawn ornament", we tend to sit in "our" pew at church and listen to a message and sometimes we even hear a pretty good joke! Most of us sit at church, but we're nothing more than "church furniture".
Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God has plans for all of us. Plans to make us prosper. How are you being used for God? A boat requires much upkeep, and so do we. We have to stay sharp and focused. We have to stay in the Word. I always worry about whether or not I am in God's will. Recently God showed me that as a Christian it's harder to be outside the will of God, than in His will. May our prayer this week be that we can constantly search for what God has for us so that we are not "useless".
