Energy from the Bow

~~~ Hebrews 10:32-39 ~~~ Psalm 37 ~~~ Mark 4:26-34 ~~~

We are not among those who draw back and perish, 

but among those who have faith and will possess life.

We have been strengthened
through the power of the Holy Spirit
to have the courage to move forward.

Just as an  arrow is drawn back across
the bow to be released into the air.
We must draw back to God.
He is the bow of our faith that will send us out.

It is God who possesses all life.
He alone gives life to us.

When we have drawn back to God...when we have
 come to completely trust in God...
He will send us forth to flourish.

We have the potential to become
mighty in the hand of God,
just as the tiny mustard seed grew
 into the large bushy plant.

Just as the bow provides the arrow with momentum
God provides us with the momentum of his love.

We must allow God to draw us fully toward him.
It is only in this surrendering that his energy
can be transferred into us.

The mustard seed was able to grow because of God's
energy being pushed into its tiny being.

Blessings come from allowing God
 to draw us completely unto himself.

~~~Peace~~~
