Stop Stirring the Water
from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen
Picture a man kneeling beside a still pond of water. He leans over, looks at his reflection, and he absolutely does not like what he sees. So, what does he do? He plunges his hand in and stirs the water. The face breaks apart. It moves. It distorts. And for a fleeting moment, it feels like something actually changed. But then... the ripples fade. The water settles. And the exact same face comes right back. How often do we do this with our very own lives? We constantly try to change the water and circumstances, fully convincing ourselves that we have somehow changed the person.
