Gotta Kink in Your Hose?

For several days now I keep hearing phrases about having a "kink in your hose"...what? I turn my head upward, point my index finger towards my chest, raise my eyebrows and say, "You talkin' to me?" The visual I have is of someone standing with a garden hose watering towards something then suddenly the flow of water gets slower and slower until finally only a drip drops from the end. The one watering turns to find a kink in the hose that is blocking the water flow. Have you been there, done that? I believe we all have at one time or another. The one watering lays down the nozzle, walks to the kink, and straightens it out. Ahhh, the water flows again...and gardens grow, cars are washed, and the grass is watered. Is there a kink in your hose?

When we allow those kinks to remain, nothing gets accomplished. We must first find it, walk to it, and straighten it out. Is there a kink blocking the flow of the Spirit in your life? Is there something you need to straighten out? Hummm, if you want to accomplish anything in life for God, you gotta get rid of that kink in your hose.
