1 Corinthians 3:8-9<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God\u2019s service; you are God\u2019s field, God\u2019s building.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

There is theology all around us if we take time to apply what we see to what God desires for us to understand about Him. Just this morning I read the Sunday comics and discovered a spiritual nugget in one of my favorite strips, For Better or For Worse.<\/em><\/p>\n

The family dog, Farley is lapping water out of the toilet bowl. (Why do cats and dogs like to do that?) The youngest daughter, Elizabeth, about age four sees Farley lapping the water and repeatedly bangs the lid down on his head. Farley staggers away in a daze.<\/p>\n

The next box shows Farley looking fearful toward the bowl. The father shouts out that all his training has finally paid off and Farley has learned not to drink out of the toilet bowl.<\/p>\n

It is far too easy for us to take credit for another person\u2019s spiritual birth or growth. As we read today\u2019s Scripture, different ones have a part to play, but ultimately it is the Lord who is the One who is in control. It is the Holy Spirit who prepares the heart to receive the word of truth. We are merely the instruments that the Lord can use to do His work.<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
