Fantastic Friday #319 - Block

Block

We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; 2 Corinthians 6:3-4

This week during a tournament baseball game, the shortstop on the other team would stand completely in front of the base and obstruct the base runner from getting back to the base.  In one case he blocked the base so well the runner couldn't get back to the base and was tagged out.  The umpire didn't call obstruction, instead when our coach politely inquired about the kid blocking the base, he said it was alright for our players to push him out of the way, which in reality is not the correct way to handle the play if you think about it.  When you are traveling through your daily walk with Christ, what is out there that obstructs you from walking with Christ and instead pushes you to walk with the world.  I am sure you can think of a number of things that block your path, but there is one thing that we need to remember.  We have a special gift that travels with us that allows us to break through that obstruction and that is the Holy Spirit.  Let the Holy Spirit guide you through whatever tries to block you.

Have a great weekend.
