THE SOURCE

My Father loves to brag about his generator that he has hooked up at his home. Whenever there is a big storm and there is a power outage on his street, he stand on his porch and looks at all the other homes with no lights and talks for about 20 minutes about his generator.

I recently took my 3 boys to a self-service carwash to teach them how to wash a car (and to get them to help me wash it), and they wanted to wash the car with the CD player and music playing in the car (like we use to do it). I let them play the music, and we had a good time. We had been washing it, and vaccuming the car for about an hour. When we had finished, I went to go start the car to move it, and suddenly it was revealed to me that the CD player had drained all of the power from the battery. Here we are in a Mercedes Benz, shined up looking like fresh hundred dollar bills with no power.

What I realized is that just like that pretty car, with the shiny wheels, and the loud speakers, there are many people who look like they are all together, saying the right things, and everyone is impressed with them but the sad thing is that they have no power source. Instead we need to be tapped into the power source like the generator at my dad's house. God is that power source! When winds blow, rain falls, when storms may seem unbearable for everyone else, you life sill not change because of your source!
