FILLING A COLANDER
I have read the
Bible through at least once a year for many years and admit there are times
when I read passages like Genesis 5:1-32 that I’m tempted to skim over and go
on.
They make me
think of the little boy who told his mother it wouldn’t do him any good to
memorize Bible verses because he couldn’t remember them very long. His mother
gave him a colander she had been using and told him to fill it with water. He
tried, but finally told her it wasn’t any use because the thing is full of
holes and won’t hold water. She said “Yes, son, but look how clean it is now.
This is how your heart and mind will be if you keep filling it with God’s Word.”
