Imaging God is not a Broken Record

Thank goodness God is not a broken record. Although God is unchanging, it doesn't mean that God becomes a stale mundane repetitive God. No, God is far from "old hat" from the human finite point of view. He wants to teach us each day. If God didn't want to teach us a certain day, it would certainly be a waste that day. His voice constantly rejuvenates the soul. His word provides us our daily bread. Each day God desires to make a profound impact and deep impression upon human clay.

The Planter plants and the Gardener tills our hearts. New fruit is produced and picked, and the leaves are pruned. The field of crops of our lives burst open and overflow into the hearts that surround us.

We are to image the Potter, for we are His clay. We are to image our Farmer, for in us He has planted His fruit bearing seed. We are to bear the image of the invisible God to a world that does not know God. We are to testify by our lives the glorious news of the resurrected Messiah. We are not be unimaginative stale broken records witnessing a God that is outmoded. God is not old and boring. God has not gone out of fashion. We need God more than ever before. Don't image a broken record today, rather, image God.
