I was told about a story of a man working in a lumber factory. At the end of each day, this worker gets some sawdust into a small container and carries home in a wheelbarrow. As a routine check, every worker goes through security at the main gate before exiting the premises of the factory to discourage internal pilfering.
For seven continuous days, the worker when stopped at the security is asked whats in the small container and he gladly responds by declaring in his possession the unwanted sawdust from the factory floor which he intends using at home. This went on for eight days straight.
At the end of the eight day and with this same worker approaching the exit, the security (even though full of suspicion) realised they could not accuse that worker for any wrong doing or theft thus they finally beckoned him gently and asked:
Security: I always suspect you are up to something but can't find a thing on you
Worker: Its just the sawdust i always carry home after work
Security: Please tell me what you hiding. I wont report you to anybody
Worker: Ok. The truth is, I am stealing wheelbarrows..
The morale of the story above is this, DONT be preoccupied with the small package that u miss the bigger picture.
Manytimes in our lives, its the grain of sand that weigh us down and we lose focus of the bigger, greater and sweeter picture before us.
Quit looking so hard with your own abilities and allow the Master Himself lead you on.
His name is Jesus.
Shalom!
Shalom!
