Too much

As Tina and I sat there watching something on the TV, we heard a
"pop." At first I thought it was the wind throwing something at the
window. A little while later. "Pow!" This was way too weird. Someone
was shooting at us! Seconds later the third "pop!" I jumped up and
ran to the wall. Oh no! The batteries had blown up for my camera.

How had it happened? There are two types of rechargeable batteries. I
had used one for so long, I forgot to hit the switch when I
introduced a different kind. The power was too much for them. They
exploded, leaking into the charger and onto the floor. (Hey, at least
we weren't being shot at!)

In my life and the lives of others, we want to see more of God. We
cry out "more!" But what happens when He shows up? I am convinced it
is not always the way we think it is going to be. Maybe we will be
like the battery, coming to the place where we can not absorb any
more of what He is doing, because we have to make room for the new.
"I must decrease that He might increase."

As we approach the New Year, I want to make room for what God is doing.

Busyness must go. I have too many friends, too much family and too
little time. I do not want to "explode" no longer able to contain or
do what He is asking of me.

There was an old Monkees' song. In it, a pig ate so much...he popped.
If I am going to "pop" I want it to be a release of the good ness of
God and His grace over all those He holds dear.
