The power of water....
It changes our coastal shores with one wave at time, slowly eroding away each grain of sand. It has created grand canyons (pun intended) and magnificent rocky coasts. The power of water has created its own pathways to reach the oceans...mighty and great rivers; even small babbling brooks shape and form its own environment. You don't see the result of its power but it is there. For you, water is a source of life. We cannot live long without it. It cleanses us; it refreshes us; it cools us when hot and warms us when it is heated. It is our life source. Scientifically, most of our body mass is composed of water. It also cover three quarters of our planet. It is a powerful resource. 

For the Christian, the power of water runs deep. It connects us to God. It is our eternal life source. It gives us power in Christ. It is more than salvation...it is power connected to Christ that we share and have the ability to harness to defeat the enemy.And like the water that changes our landscape...it changes us.We have new life. 

Baptism is our connection...baptism is water...in this process we become connected to Christ. We die with Him, we are buried with Him, and we are resurrected with Him. We are new creations. 

And yet, I find many of us (myself, on occasion) do not harness the power of our new self in Christ. We do not harness His power...we limit His ability in our life...and it is our choice.

We need to take the time to talk with Him and give Him unlimited access to our life. We need to think upon that time the water gave us new life...recognize the great joy, the fullness of Him in our life, and the love He has for us needs to be projected outwards.

We need to allow Him to change us just as the waters change our environment...it is a slow and time-consuming process...but the results are beautiful. Harness the power of water....
