A Fight With a Pipe
I was having a fight with a pipe. It was stuck in a wall, and I couldn't get it out. The more I struggled, the more agitated I got. In desperation, I finally asked Holy Spirit if He knew how to do this. Dumb question, right?
I'll never forget His response. He said, "Of course." That caught me completely off guard. I just sat on the floor for a moment and then asked if He would share this information with me. He told me to unscrew this other pipe attached to it. When I did that, the pipe slipped out of the wall as easily as could be. Personally, I think He was amused watching me struggle.
A lot of Christians would find this kind of conversation a bit strange because the whole idea of God is more a concept than a relationship. Like any friendship, the more time you put into it, the closer you get.
I wonder how I would have reacted if He had said He had no clue? That is a funny thought, but the truth is, He knows everything about everything. God is just waiting for us to ask Him.
