I recently visited Oklahoma. Its beautiful, true-blue skies and pure white, puffy clouds remind me of refreshing air to breathe and that is NOT what we have in CA. In OK, there was no evidence of smog and the true, fresh rain it offers is “real” rain... It doesn’t sprinkle; it pours… Oklahomans are thankful that their three year drought is over.
If for some reason, you could not hear or see the rain, its aftermath was evident. My sweet body seems to be attracted to the flying, hopping, jumping, and ummm… skipping insects… (No, I don’t attract guys, I attract insects… Ha Ha… LOL…). I could have connected the dots of the swollen lumps of those, small and mighty insect bites.
After a refreshing shower, I decided to saturate my body with the aroma of mosquito and flying insect repellent. (I have to because I am one of those people who are allergic to one of God’s creatures and then there is that West Nile Virus thing). Guess what I learned? Never ‘SPRAY’ your legs with Insect repellent after you shave them…IT BURNS… (Sorry guys, but it was like that “Home Alone” movie. I wanted to hold my legs and scream like that kid held his cheeks. No Tamara, I didn’t do that.)
So I either spray on the stuff right after I shower, and my legs would burn, or I wait a while, but then the mosquitoes would attack. Which is worse?
For some reason, I kept thinking about the mosquitoes and their powerful bite and how it coincides with a Christian’s life (with the power of God.) If I could be like the tiny mosquito who may be small, yet it has a mighty powerful bite. It was so evident that the mosquito had visited me…(If it would be so evident that the power of God had visited me and was in me).
If I could be a Christian, (one Christian in the midst of millions in the world), doing the will of God and taking on HIS Power, How powerful would that be? WOW!!! Then if 5 people get together and do the will of God, how powerful would that be, and then if 25 people get together and do the will of God, how powerful would that be…and so on… WOW, that’s amazing and we can do it… God has a work for us to do...
