Watered Wood

What wet, unburnable wood rests on your altar? Meaning, what unbelievably impossible burdens do you carry? What disastrous situations are you declaring unsolvable today? That’s what watered wood is: situations that seem utterly impossible. That’s because they are utterly impossible in your strength. But not in God’s.

God doesn’t care if the wood on your altar is soaked. He’ll still send the fires of heaven to burn it up. God does not care just how big your burden is. Because he is always bigger still. Always. Remember Elisha’s altar when he was proving God’s superiority against the enemy’s false gods? He bet God would burn his sacrifice even with extreme amounts of water. Remember, fire and water don’t mix. And God came through. He was more than enough, burning everything in an instant. And he’ll do the same with you. He’ll take your burden, your seemingly impossible situation, and take care of it. Completely. But only if you trust him and allow him to work. Allow him by giving everything to him. Then watch him work it all out. Completely.

Trust and Focus: Life can seem impossible, can’t it? But God is bigger than anything you face. What impossible situation will you allow God to fix for you? Pray and watch him work it all out—in his way and in his timing. Give it to him, continue your faithfulness, and look forward to how God will come through. Do your part and watch God do his. Even if he doesn’t solve it the way you think he should, his peace will cover you while you faithfully submit to his will. What do you need to give to God today?
