Goooooooood Morninnnnnnnnnnng!
The Catalyst: It's role is small but so important!
When a person is working with liquid epoxy it's usually a two step process; the polymer and the catalyst. One mixes in a small amount of catalyst to the polymer which creates a chemical reaction causing the mixture to harden and solidify.
It may be equal to half of the mixture or in some cases its a tiny amount mixed in with the whole that is enough to accomplish the process.
God uses catalysts in our life all the time. We need to recognize them, accepting them and integrating it in with the change that it brings. Mary's obedience comes to mind. Mary the Mother of Our Lord was the catalyst to making it possible for the Sacrifice of God in the flesh on the Cross for our sins. It also balanced out that spotted history where womanhood went wrong with the serpent. Her obedience. immediate obedience made all the difference in the world. Your obedience one way or another affects someone else (not just you) like or not. We are all connected because nothing is separate from God, except Satan and Hell. Wherever God is not there THEY are!
Catalysts come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they are the actions taken by others who react rather than respond; their rashness brings about a change that effects are unalterable for them and for those whom they affect. A catalyst can be a bad thing done to you by another that you allow Christ to trans mutate. A catalyst can be a good thing that occurs but somehow causes a massive change. The Christian knows that all trials come to prepare us for something and that even the worst situation or circumstance has a blessing attached. That's like a consolation prize just for participating in life.
When you begin to look just a layer or two beneath the surface of things you will see what I mean. This is where things get lodged in our epoxy. When we are daily in the word, in Gods will, in His obedience; that epoxy and polymer become clear, untainted and strong beyond belief. It can become your shield as well as your looking glass. Allow God to work within you shoring up the boundaries and borders of your world so that nothing harmful attach itself to you.
So, this is how we get one thing clear! Our SELF, clarity in Christ for sure starts with obedience.
Heavenly Father, let us come before you able to receive and anxious to absorb your goodness. Your righteousness cleanses us and your Word replaces every erring thing that exalts itself over you. Search the recesses of our being to help point out that areas where we need to remove our will and allow yours to inhabit. You are so faithful to perform all the things that your Word promises, we need to fully realize this (that you can not fail) Therefore obedience to you is a winning arrangement where you are governed and guided within. Lord, thank you for always being there, at the center of my everything. In your Holy and Righteous name we honor,Lord, praise, honor and petition thee AMEN!
