Jim
Rohn profoundly said, "Make sure you don't go to the ocean with a
teaspoon. At least take a bucket with you so the kids don't laugh at
you." God has placed an ocean in front of each of us. It is an ocean of
blessing, an ocean of opportunity. It is an ocean of promise and
change. God's job is the ocean. Your job is to decide how much you
want. You can enter with a teaspoon, content for a little. Your spoon
will be full, and you might think that is all there is. Or you can
bring a bucket to God's ocean. God can fill a bucket just as quickly
and completely as He fills a spoon.
You
may think you are too small to carry the bucket. Hear the words of
Betty Reese: "If you think you are too small to be effective, you have
never been to bed with a mosquito." I think Betty is saying that
everyone is big enough for God to bless. Konrad Adenauer puts it like
this: "We all have the same sky, but we don't have the same horizon."
Let the same God who created the ocean design your horizon. Go to the
ocean today. But be prepared. Leave the spoon at home. Bring the
biggest bucket you can find.
