God Abhors a Vacuum

by @ 12:14 pm. Filed under The Journey. [add to del.icio.us]

God abhors a vacuum. Every time I rid myself of non-productive activities and clear out some space in my life, the space is soon filled with other activities. Part of this is spiritual growth: as you grow spiritually, activities that were once fruitful for you become less productive. Also, when you are in God’s service, he exposes you to a variety of experiences so that you can learn the things you will need in order to be equipped for the roles he is preparing you to fill. We don’t know in advance what those roles will be, so some of our experiences don’t make sense until later. God is the Master Potter and he is continually shaping and reshaping us. The ultimate design of the vessel he wants us to be is known to him alone.
