Pebble - Tuesday February 24, 2015
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Psalm 23:6
When you drop a pebble in a pond, it creates a ripple that travels across the pond. Part of this ripple is seen by the eye, and part of this ripple is unseen, but it still ripples. So whether you see it or not, the impact of the pebble creates a ripple.When a boat races across a body of water, it leaves an impact called a wake. The wake is more obvious, of course, than a ripple but the same still applies here. Whether you see it or not, the impact of the boat creates a wake.When we follow the Shepherd, whether it is in green meadows, by quiet streams, on pathways of righteousness, through the valley of the shadow of death or even in the presence of our enemies, He causes a wake, a ripple in time, of goodness and mercy that follows us as we follow Him! You may see some of the goodness and mercy, or you may never see it in this life. But be assured that your life in the hand of the Shepherd makes an eternal impact!My prayer is to be just a pebble in the hand of the Shepherd and to be willing to let Him "drop" me anywhere He wants. May many drink of the fullness of the wake of His goodness and mercy through my life!Oh, Lord, here I am. "Drop" me.
