A channel of blessing. [2 Timothy 2v21 ]
I was clearing the guttering at the front of my house,so the water could get away,and it reminded me of an old hymn, /Is your life a channel of blessing?/ I know like that guttering, my life can so easily accumulate those things that hinder me , and I cease to be a channel of blessing. Roots of bitterness,habits that control me,thought patterns that are self destructive, a refusing to move on, stubbornness of will,living by sight instead of living by faith,unforgiveness,meanness of spirit. These and so many other things are barriers and hindrances, to us being a channel of blessing. Let us ask ourselves the question, is our lives a channel of blessing?, and do we want to be a channel of blessing?.[ Dear Lord, make me a channel of blessing today, make me a channel of blessing I pray, my life possessing ,my service blessing, make me a channel of blessing today. Amen ]

Great devotional. Thanks. It was the reference to Harper Smyth's hymn that caught my eye this morning. (Today is the 65th anniversary of his death.) If you'd like to know a bit more about him, I invite you to check out my daily hymn blog, Wordwise Hymns, for today.
