The waterspout challenge

Warning: The following discussion might be highly intellectual. Cerebral even. I apologize in advance. Here we go... Eensy Weensy Spider went up the waterspout Down came the rain and washed the spider out Out came the sun and dried up all the rain And the Eensy, Weensy Spider went up the spout again. Whoa! Fierce! Our courageous Eensy Weensy has to go somewhere very important. He accepted the waterspout challenge. It wasn’t just a downpour. The waterspout unleashes the momentum of the downpour full strength upon Eensy Weensy. But he held on. He dug in his heels and clung to dear life. Water poured and flowed mightily... until it was over. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. Resilience paid off! Eensy Weensy Spider went up the spout again!

May a “psychological coffin” of our own making – of fear and hesitation and apathy – not contain us. Today, may Jesus’ touch and voice make us come alive!

“Young man, I say to you, arise!”
