Consider the mighty Mississippi River.  People has attempted to tame the river through levees, dredging, and careful construction.  Yet a change in nature, such as floods, hurricanes, or fires reminds us that, when prodded, nature has the power to exert dominance over any construct of man.  You see, the River was created to follow a path.  Billions of dollars spent on levees can’t hold back the nature of the River when circumstances call for following the natural flow of energy.

My challenge to believers and those seeking a better life is two fold.  First, ask yourself if your natural path is bound by the constructs of others.  Identify the levees holding back your natural flow of energy. Do you need to overflow the banks placed around your life by those with less power and influence than the Creator?

The second lesson for believers is all about knowing when to be right.  The River stays within the banks until circumstances call for an exertion of dominance.  The life of the faithful requires knowing when to tap into your power to lay claim to your God-given path.

Remember, friends.  The river is right.
