When we’re thirsty, we need to know where to find water. In the same way, when our souls thirst for the things we need from God, we need to know where to turn. Thankfully, God tells us where we can find his greatest blessings on tap. He uses specific channels so his grace can flow freely, channels that ensure his blessings will never dry up. Today we see how the existence of opposing currents that pull us away from God’s grace (last week’s focus) require Christ’s ministers (and really all Christians) to be ready to fight against those currents. The Christian life is not one of “going with the flow” but of “fighting the good fight.” Though that life is not easy, it is a life of promise and leads to an eternal reward.
