A man was struggling with a washing machine at the doorway of his house. A kind man stopped to help. After several minutes of fruitless effort the two stopped and just stared at each other in frustration. Finally, when they had caught their breath, the first man said to the homeowner: “We’ll never get this washing machine in there!” To which the homeowner replied: “In? I’m trying to move it out of here!”
The two men needed to have a understanding about what they were trying to accomplish. In Amos 3:3 the prophet said, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” Certainly the same is true of our walk with our Creator. Our Father is trying to accomplish something in us and through us. We need to listen, we need to pray. Communication must be a priority if we are going to go in the same direction.
