Andy loves the kitchen! And he was inspired, a while ago, about how saucepans can teach us much about pressure in our lives, and letting that pressure go with God.
Today, he has a saucepan and a colander…both are great at straining, but with each the BerryBunch either lose rice – if they’re a bit too energetic pouring the wet rice in, or slipping the saucepan lid – and losing all the veg.
Even with a strainer, they are only as good as the size of the hole and the size of what you’re trying to strain through!
In life, there will always be things we’re trying to add in or take out, and we use filters and strainers every day to do that.
On the microphone that Andy B is speaking through, there is a physical strainer – a pop shield – as well as 3 digital filters to make it sound better. That audio is then passed through even more filters to get rid of any unwanted background noise and hiss.
So where do we need to let the Holy Spirit be more of the strainer to our life?
Where are we trying to hold a lid on things, when there is a much better filter waiting…well within our reach.
In 2021, at least in the west, we all have access to multiple versions and copies of the bible. We have it on our bookshelves, via the internet and on our phones and tablets.
And scripture is the best filter we will ever have to hear the voice of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, showing us the best way of separating those things that aren’t good for us.
But, we do need to put ourselves in the hands of our creator…the perfect hands to help us separate what we think is really important, against what God really wants us to look like and get involved in.
