What is impossible for people is possible with God.” Luke 18:27
I live with three women. Now don’t panic. I can explain. Back in the old days, I was the only guy in the house. It was four females and one female dog to one male. There was, of course, my wife Judy, my three daughters, Rebecca, Jennifer and Sarah and finally there was Sam dog who was also a girl. This caused some issues because everything in the house had some sort of connection with the world of girls. Even our movie selection was tainted female. I’ve watched more romantic comedies than any man should. Oh, and it came at a price. Take me to the movies and trust me, I’m the first one whose eyes start to leak.
Well, slowly things changed. The daughters all got married and Sam dog went to doggie heaven and that left me and Judy. Finally, the odds were even but then we invited a couple of ladies into the house. First there was Alexa. She served as our assistant and frankly I like having her around. Just like a real female person, ask her a question and she has the answer and she, of course, is never wrong. She talks, listens and occasionally even tells me what to do. Judy tells me that like any good wife, Alexa is always listening, so I really need to be careful what I say.
Well, while Alexa is old hat (don’t tell her I said that) about six or seven months ago, Judy invited another lady to come live with me. I think she must be German or something else European because her name is Eufy. I don’t even know how to pronounce it, so I usually just say, “Hey, you!” Now Eufy, like Alexa, is quite handy. You see, she is a robotic vacuum cleaner. In other words, give the word, and she takes off and begins to vacuum the house all by herself. Like a human female, I have no idea how she works…I just know that she does. She zips around the room and seems to know exactly where she is going. It really is quite amazing. She does sometimes get in a bind but with a little help she is soon “Back on the road again.”
The amazing thing about Eufy is, because of her slender size, she can go where other vacuums can’t. Day after day and time after time, Judy and I are just amazed at how much stuff she finds to pick up. When Judy invited her to come live with us, I was very skeptical. I figured it was a waste of more than a few dollars, but I was wrong. She saves us time and turns out she has made our life more than a little better.
And guess what? I met Someone far more important, far more valuable than Eufy, and unlike her, this Someone never gets it wrong. This Someone knows it all, past, present and future, and even adds elements like grace, mercy, love and compassion. And like Eufy, who cleans up my messes, this someone cleans them all and never grows weary doing so. Oh, and one more thing. Eufy must go in for a recharge but this Someone never does. Who is this Someone? He is the one who made it all…Creator God or as I like to call Him, my Dearest Daddy.
So, if your house is a little messy you might want to invite Eufy to come live with you but if your life is a mess (and isn’t everyone’s?) then why not invite God to come and change it? It is a decision that you will never regret. I know, because I did a long time ago and He has never, ever failed me. I’ve learned that no matter what, “He’s got this.” Bro. Dewayne
