God in the Shower…

Okay, so I moved into a new house this week and it has one of those shower heads that is mounted up high, but is on a long springy cord, so you can take it off the wall and move it around.  The genius in this design is that you don’t have to dance around the shower to get full water coverage.

However, when you are used to a stationary water source, trying to suds up with one hand and rinse with a moveable water source with the other is very difficult first thing in the morning!  (sorry if you’re traumatized by that mental image)

This caused me to think about how many people like the idea of a ’source’ from any angle…it can get coverage all over, you can control it, or direct it away from you when you want…  However, God is not like that.  He’s full on. To really enjoy a life with Him means you get to dance around… responding to the constant source.

Jentzen Franklin wrote a book (Right People, Right Place, Right Plan) and he has a quote that has been stirring around in my head a while.  The quote is “If the church will not pray, God will not act.”  (not that He can’t, but that He won’t…there is some implied partnership that He desires from us)

Whether you’re in the shower just living your life, what do you think about being responsive to God and partnering with Him through prayer?
