One week ago, I had the perfect shower. I like a shower rather than a bath. I just don’t like to sit in that dirty water. I like the water to wash off my body and on down the drain and be gone. It’s just my preference. And I have figured out shower heads. Inside the ½” threads is a little plastic ventura that throttles the water. Pick it out with a pocketknife and throw it away (the plastic piece, not the pocketknife). Then stack another water-hose-diameter gasket in its place and voilà, you have pressure and volume! Now my son from California says that I am wasting water, but I say that I am enjoying water. I pay the water bill, and I live in Georgia where we have water. And I pay the electric bill that heats the plenty-of-water, and I enjoy this little decadent pleasure. I turn on the hot water when I get in the shower and adjust it until it gets just right. Then I push the shower button and simultaneously shield myself from the first burst of cool water that comes out of the shower head. And as the water pipes warm up, I adjust the water again. But today, I hit it just perfect: not too hot (to burn me) and not too cold (to chill me). And as I enjoyed the perfect temperature water with plenty of volume, I thanked the dear Lord for both. And I thought of Psalm 139:5&6. David said, “Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.” The dear Lord goes before me clearing away obstacles, and He goes behind me protecting me from what I can’t see that’s sneaking up behind me. Then the dear Lord lays a comforting hand upon my shoulder as He walks beside me and encourages me along the way. But I want to be even closer to my dear Lord! And with David, I say in verses 23&24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Hey, today, ask the dear Lord to show you where you need to make changes. Ask Him to show you forgotten sins to confess. Then, have a great day … in the Lord!
