Hebrews 13:20-21 (NASB) Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

My son found a whistle today, but he’d never seen a whistle, and didn’t know how to use it. I showed him what it could do, and he eagerly took it back to try and make it whistle too. But instead of blowing into the whistle, he kept trying to make a whistle noise himself “Woo Woo.” He was trying to do it on his own, instead of letting the whistle do the work. Cute, but not effective!

This reminded me of how I often act with God. I work and work and don’t accomplish much, because I’m trying to do it myself. All God wants is for me to show up with my faith and my obedience and He will do the work in people’s lives. If I provide the air, He will make it whistle!
