Light Pouring From You.

Light Pouring From You

Yesterday I measured a light table for my art studio, taking its heighth and width and depth in three dimensions.  I know from my measurements that it is 48 inches wide by 66 inches deep by 36 inches high.   What fascinates me most about this particular table is not its dimensions, but the light that comes from within it.

And that is what fascinates me about you.  Not your job description, per se,  but what is being poured into the world from your soul while you are working.

In Jesus, Career Counselor, we are going into a fourth dimension if you will.

For your career is not only about how high, or wide, or deep your work is, but most importantly, what bubbles up from inside it—from inside you.

In Ezekiel 47 we are given a life changing vision of a man encountering a heavenly being who tells him to measure a steam that is flowing from underneath the altar.  As the two continue their dialogue the stream turns into a river, and the river flows into a sea.  And all along the river are trees bearing fruit for food and leaves for healing.  There are fish of every kind swimming in the river, and fishermen making a living on both sides of it.  And perhaps most beautifully of all “everything will live where the river goes.”   I have prayed that my career would be like that.

Wouldn’t you want that for yours too, or for your childrens?

In order for that to happen, the stream must start under the altar, which is a dedicated place of worship and communion with God.
