It’s the middle of the summer—a time that many, including myself, enjoy time at their favorite lake. My favorite is Kentucky Lake. Some friends of ours own a lake house there and occasionally we go over for the weekend.
This particular weekend, we had gone over with another couple. While sitting on the porch one morning, my friend had an observation about docks that I thought was pretty cool.
Docks are built in the winter months. There aren’t many people around in the winter months—not much activity. The signs of life are few and far between. Yet we know that just around the corner are the summer months when people will come to enjoy the life the lake offers. Docks are access points which make that a little easier.
In the winter period when there is no one around—when there is little sign of life—we need to build docks. When the summer months come, when people come looking for life, will we have a good dock that will make it easier for them to find it?
Hunger and Thirst 
So while we wait for the summer rains of revival to fall, I guess we better keep preparing….
All we can do is to make sure we are following today to have the assurance that it will position us for what He has for us tomorrow.
By the way, you might notice that with some comments the person’s name is in green lettering and some is in black. Green allows others to get to your site through your comments. Eirene told me where to change that setting, but for the life of me, I can’t remember where it was. Maybe she’ll see this and remind us both.
wow what a cool analogy!
I am glad you liked it. It is one of my favorites lately.
