COT:
With a little down time over Christmas, Grillz was able to start a new book ‘The Last Arrow’. This book had been on the nightstand for over 2 years with many attempts to begin reading it. Finally it became a priority. In the book, Erwin McManus shares the Old Testament Story of Elisha and the King of Israel. It is recorded in 2 Kings 13:17-19
“Open the east window,” said Elisha. So he opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And Elisha declared: “This is the LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek until you have put an end to them. Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped. But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.”
After reading the verses in the bible and the comments in the book from Erwin, Grillz was struck with the conviction that really, God wants us to participate in the story He has written! But often we quit too soon because we are not actively participating in the relationships and activities in our lives. It seems this is one of the things God loves most, when we participate in His story for our lives. As you look forward into 2022 will you ask God what story He is writing? How will you be a more active participant in the story God has already written for you?
Aye,
Grillz
