​God with us: Weekly Pastoral Devotional

crooked sticks

There is an old saying that bears repeating.  "God uses crooked sticks to draw straight lines."  What does this mean?  

Well, it means that God uses us (flawed people) to do his perfect will.  There has only ever been one perfect person and that was Jesus.  Every other person in history who has been used by God has been flawed and sinful.  The people in the Bible were flawed.  Abraham was flawed.  Moses was flawed.  David was flawed.  Peter, Paul and James were flawed.  And the people since the Bible have been flawed too.  Martin Luther, John Welsley, Mother Teresa...all flawed.  And yet each of these people has been used to do God's will in their own way....and God can take their efforts and use it for his perfect will.

My family recently took a trip to St Louis and went to the City Museum.  It's not really a museum at all, but a playground of slides, tunnels and caves made of old stuff taken from around the city and put together by artists who want to reuse "junk" and make it new again.  With great creativity and effort they took trash and made it amazing.

That's what God does.  He takes our crooked sticks and makes straight lines.  He takes our junk and makes treasure.  

So what can God do with you today?

In Christ,
Pastor Scott
