FLOOD

As I drove over the river I looked down to see the parks completely under water.  Water has outstretched past the normal confines and covered all of the land that is in the low plains.  If you are located beside a river, you are defiantly under water.  Lives have been lost and crops completely destroyed because of the overflowing large amounts of water. 

When are lives are submerged in the swamp there is only one thing to do and that is to flood yourself with the Lord.  When we go to the Lords word we are immersed with the overwhelming wisdom that the pages have to offer.  Instead of drowning we will be filled to the brim with the help we need. 

Powerfully forward and upward is where we will go when we are covered with God’s word.  The surge of comfort will cascade through us and out of us to others. 

Colossians 3:16-17New International Version (NIV)

16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Flood others lives with how you are living through and with Him.  When you do they will be completely filled with Him. 

2 Timothy 4:2New International Version (NIV)

2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
