#107 A PEBBLE WITH A PURPOSE
Words from a preacher's mouth painted a picture
On the walls of my mind
He referred to David picking up 5 stones
Out of a creek and I saw his hand
Reach for the first one...
Embrace it as he lifted it up
Out of the crystal clear cold flowing water
Then I saw more in the spirit realm
As the Holy Spirit
Ministered to me
That pebble in his hand seemed harmless
It had been in the creek for so long
Even the rough edges were now smooth
Though it appeared nothing was happening
Time did not create the changes
Action of the water produced change
As the pebble remained in position
For years and years
While being prepared
For an assignment (Side Note: 30 years for Jesus)
That little pebble needed to be embraced
By a slingshot
Not just any slingshot
One that had been used repeatedly
By a Shepherd with good eyesight
Accuracy supreme
A dream within
About to manifest
As he was prepared
To 'Bulls Eye' Goliath
He then used Goliath's sword
So as to complete his decision
To kill the giant, not pay taxes
Receive a lot of money
Marry the King's daughter
God did not instruct him
He made a wise decision
Completed his goal
Resulting in changed lives
For many
The pebble that withstood storms
While in the creek for years
Symbolic of you and I
Encountering life's battles daily
Storms, sunshine, rain, wind, adversity
Exposed to attempts to steal, kill, destroy
Yet maintaining position repeatedly
Due to staying close to the Holy Spirit
Our River of Life Within
Living Water Nourishing Us
A 'Pebble' feeding on God's Word
Not only results in mindset changes
As storms like sandpaper rub repeatedly
Until change, yielding, submission occurs
Resulting in increased patience, good fruit
And opportunity for faith to grow
When it appears as if nothing is happening
Yet confidence in God increases
Because Faith comes by hearing the Word
A Pebble with power, love, sound mind results
Like a Gold Medalist well prepared
Confident the vision within
Will come to fruition
"With God All Things Are Possible"
The Pebble is released from that slingshot
Only to find it's mark precisely
Mission Accomplished, Done Deal
Be ready to hit the mark
God needs more than one
