Impossible to Possible

Today in our Bible Study/Science Activity we ...

1) Filled a drinking glass almost to the top with water.

2) Dropped a small cork (we used a fishing bobber - of course!) into the glass, and make the cork float in the center of the water without touching the glass.

What Happened?

The cork kept floating off to the side. It seemed impossible to keep it in the center even if we used our hands on the glass, blew on it, shook the floor (an advantage of living in a 5th wheel), etc. Nothing worked.

THEN We ...

Slowly poured water from another glass until the water rose just above the rim without spilling.

What HAPPENED?

The cork moved to where the water was the highest ... the center. And it didn't take any help or prompting from us to get it to move there. It happened automatic when the water was added. OUTCOME:

It wasn't possible until we knew to fill the glass to the top. Then the cork always, no matter how it was shaken or moved, returned to the center.

LIFE APPLICATION:

If we keep our life full of God's word, Fellowship with other Believers, Music, Reading, TV, positive input ... no matter what happens around us ... we can stay centered or grounded in Christ through all the tribulations that come our way.
