Watered Coffee?

Have you ever had a thought about water? I can remember my school years and a particular class that challenged most students. Biology class. Exploratory surgery on a frog and the next year was a pig; Biology class was interesting, especially for boys, at the age they are ready to explore. As long as you had a teacher that kept things interesting, biology wouldn’t be so bad. However, having a teacher with a monotonous voice doesn’t help make anything interesting. In Biology class, we had to memorize the basic elements model. What a burdensome task! Now I have some idea about the weight donkeys have to carry when I ride them. I thought, I would never be able to memorize the elements table. However, the easiest and most memorable ones were for water (H2O). H2O is Hydrogen and 2 parts Oxygen.

Water is in everything. This brings up an interesting fact about water. Steam and ice are forms of water with all three having the basic element of H20. Steam, ice and water have different characteristics. Water is a liquid and is present in everything. Water heated up becomes something powerful, which is steam. Steam is like a ghost appearance. Ice is the solid form of water. All three have different characteristics, but all exist as one element of H2O. I have a lot of questions on how God work in our lives. The only way to explain it is in this way:H2O is the basic element of water. The Godhead can be equated to H20, which means it is in everything and it is the basic element. God can be an element of water, which means He is present everywhere. God also took on a solid form. Jesus can be an element of ice, which means He took on the solid form of the Godhead (H2O). The Spirit can be an element of steams, which means He is present like God everywhere but is a Spirit. Like steam looks like a Ghost. God is everywhere and is the element of Life. Without water you can not exist. Jesus is the solid form. When you add Him to your life He cools off the condemnation. The Spirit is present and is like steam that irons out the wrinkles in our lives. Everyone has different characteristics. Some are like carrots. You can peel way the layers, but underneath they are still hard, and if you try to bend them, they break in half. Sometimes they are the “root” of problems. Some are like eggs, which are very fragile and difficult in handling. Some are like coffee beans. They can be hard on the outside, but have a sweet fragrance about them. When life throws punches, how will you react? Like a carrot, hard but add them into the water they can become soft, but steamed they can bend. Add them on ice and they are preserved. Are you like an egg, fragile with a thin outer shell and when tossed you break? Yet, when life’s punches come like boiling water, you become hard on the inside and refuse to mold. You frantically fall to pieces but trying to hold it all together. However, when you add God to the coffee bean, what happens? It yields, but together with God you become a sweet aroma. I believe Paul wrote it in this way, “For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing (2 Cor. 2:15).” Yet, O LORD, you are our Father.

We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8 When trouble start to brew, be like the coffee bean and remember the water, the ice and the steam all three is what makes the aroma in your life sweet and pleasant to those around you. "When troubles arise, know it’s the Lord who has you in His hands working out those things which for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose" Phil 2:13. If you need help email me as a life coach, I can help direct you in a peace that passes all understanding. When you drink your cup of coffee remember it has to have water and without it you’re just a bean. Why not yield your life to God to be much more than what you can be? Never be complacent for improving.
