WEEBLES WOBBLE!!!

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 317

February 14, 2017

There are some children’s toy people called WEEBLES!   For some reason this morning the commercial for these toy people is in my head.

The phrase:

“WEEBLES WOBBLE BUT THEY DON’T FALL DOWN!”

So let’s think about why they do not fall down.

Weebles are egg-shaped with a weight located at the bottom center and when pushed in different directions gravity pulls at this weight and it causes the Weeble to stand upright again.

Even though Weebles come in many different shapes this principle, which is called Mechanical Equilibrium, works every time.  It is a combination of some different forces within the Weeble.

This reminds me of the apostle Paul’s declaration in Acts.

Acts 20:24 (KJV)
²⁴ But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Paul went through many difficulties, beatings, imprisonment, etc, but his declaration was that none of these things moved him.  Like the Weebles I am sure that Paul was discouraged and bent low at times but he bounced right back.

Psalm 1:3 (KJV)
³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper..

A tree with good roots, planted by the river, may bend and blow around but will stand up straight again when the storm passes.

May I speak deep into your heart this morning that we are to be like the Weebles. We may wobble but we do not fall down.  None of these things move us.

Let’s look at how this is possible.

The Weeble is shaped like an egg. An egg represents life.  When we receive Jesus and allow Him to shape us we are walking in real life. This gives us the well rounded foundation to keep us upright.

Just as the Weeble has something within it to keep it upright we are to be grounded in the Word and our Relationship to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Then when we are bent low the pull of Spirit of God (like gravity) will stand us upright.

We must establish our strength in the Lord Jesus and in the Power of His might.

We must know who we are and whose we are and we must Trust and have confidence that He is our strength.

Then when the difficulties and situations of life hit…..when the phone call comes with bad news….or the Doctor gives a bad report…..or normal life problems hit…..we may bend but we will never break because we have Faith in the giver of life that He is Lord.  We can say through tears and grief…..”NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME!”

WE MAY WOBBLE AND WE MAY LOOK LIKE WE HAVE LOST OUR SPIRITUAL EQUILIBRIUM, BUT DON’T DESPAIR, THE GREATER ONE IS IN US AND WE WILL STAND UPRIGHT AGAIN.

1 John 4:4 (KJV)
⁴ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

CHRISTIANS MAY WOBBLE BUT THEY DON’T FALL DOWN!!!

Father God, Creator of the Universe, thank you that you have placed within us the balance of your Word and Victory.  Thank you that we may weep and bend but your Love breaks through and we are strengthened and stand strong once again.  Touch each person who reads this with the knowledge that You Lord God are the greater one and you never leave us.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen

 

Wobble if you must but Trust God and you will not fall down.

Love, MeMaw
