His path

I try to exercise at least a few times a week, but that can be difficult with a 3 year old wrapped around your legs.  Sadie was busy playing outside, and so I decided I would just walk some laps up and down our driveway.  It’s probably 100 yards of crushed gravel, and I just walked up and down to the mailbox and back.  As I heard the crunching of the gravel under my feet, I started noticing how such a long path was created by thousands of little bitty rocks.  I reflected on how this is similar to the body of believers.  If we are all working for Christ in our own circles of influence, then God will use each pebble to create a path for the world that leads straight to him.  The rocks on the path had a purpose, while the one’s that were off the path were just lost and purposeless.  Thank you Lord that you use me as part of your bigger plan.  May I lay rocks on your path, working together with other believers, to make a way for people to get to You.
