Where do we go when we need help? Do we go there for our own needs, or in intercession for others? And, are we persistently pleading for assistance? These three questions determine who we perceive as having strength, whether we are in need or empathetic, and how great our love or desire is that has brought us there. Have you ever applied these three simple little questions to your prayers, and if so, what did they reveal to you about Jesus, and your faith?
We are like the grain that becomes the bread, the body of Christ. We haven’t always been bread. We start as a seed, then a sprout, a seedling, a flowering stalk, a waving head, then the mature grain that is harvested, threshed, gathered, and finally ground by a mill into flour. Our life in the field might seem calm and glorious, but unless we are cut, threshed, and ground, we aren’t suitable for God’s purposes… to become the bread of life. Then, and only then, are we baked, and finally broken to be shared with the many… asking only that they remember all that has led us to this moment. Are we ready to be sowed in the field? How about ground by the mill?
