Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.(ESV)
The Sea of Galilee is a wonderful source of life. It is full of fish and fresh water. In fact, it is the lowest fresh water lake on the planet.
The Dead Sea? The Dead Sea is properly named. Nearly nothing grows there.
What do they have in common?
Both are fed by the Jordan River. Surprised? How can two bodies of water that are fed by the same source be so completely different?
The Dead Sea has no outlet. What comes in does not flow out.
Our faith is much the same. If we do not pour out what we are given then we will become spiritually like the Dead Sea. If we need to get refreshed, we need to first pour out what we are holding onto. God is far less concerned with what He can do TO us than He is with what He can do THROUGH us.
Shine on!
