Paul's Dynamo

Good morning as the wind tries to blow us right out of the county. On a windy day such as this one, we are tempted to think that the wind turbines here in Colorado would produce a whole bunch of free electricity, but oddly, that may not be the case. Too much wind will cause the operators to shut down the turbines as they can be driven too fast by the wind and destroyed. That is often the way of man's devices. The apostle Paul seemed to exude a Christ-like energy in his ministry that we might envy. His dynamo could not be shut down by the forces of the world or the Adversary. Paul probably had his down times too, but we read of a man on the go in his ministry. We might wonder why God did not give you or me a powerful dynamo like Paul's. The most obvious answer is that we ain't Paul.

God has equipped each one of us to do what He called us to do. Your calling may involve staying put your entire life. Those God wants you to reach will come to you. Not all of us were called by God to be that on the go missionary, so not all of us have the missionary engine driving us to far countries. We may find it backwards in our worldly minds, but what we each enjoy doing may be exactly where God wants us to minister. However, the dynamo does need to be running. God does not subsidize laziness, nor does He provide for procrastination. Faith promotes action; trust grows in the testing. Let us go forth and meet it head-on today.

Glory and honor to our most high God!
