Saw it on a reel and had to try it! Even when the rest of the cup is falling apart all around it, the part with the water stays intact. Good little lesson for us there as well.
2 Samuel 5:12 says, “And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.”
David perceived—he could tell and took time to notice that it was God, not himself.
One of the most encouraging thoughts God reminded me of this week is that I’m not the one who has to hold this all together or make everything work. Between normal life, family responsibilities, and a new ministry, I’m glad God is ultimately in charge, not me.
How does a cheap plastic cup keep from melting? By allowing what’s inside to hold it together.
How do we keep from falling apart when life tries to pull us apart? By remembering that it’s up to God not us and by allowing Him to build and shape our lives into what He wants them to be.
