We noted that it had a compartment for a battery and wondered what it did. Did it make music, flash lights, jiggle and wriggle?
We wondered for sometime, but never had a C battery to find out.
Months came and went, still we didn't know what it did because we didn't have a battery.
Finally, Barney was born and we popped him in it a few times, but we still didn't have a battery, so we still didn't know what the chair would do when it had a little power.
Barney didn't really seem to like the chair, so I finally remembered to buy some batteries to settle my curiosity and see if he'd like it when it had battery power.
7 weeks after he was born and at least 5 months after we were given the chair, we found out what it's actual purpose was.
We put the batteries in and were expecting a light and music extravaganza. But all it did was vibrate.
It seemed like somewhat of an anti climax.
But do you know what? Barney loved it once it had batteries in it. He is quite happy in his vibrating chair and if he's sleepy, it puts him to sleep.
You could say, it's exactly what he needed.
What's my point?
When we're not charged, moving in God's power, we can't give people what they really need. All we can offer without Him is paltry. It won't satisfy and it won't be what people need.
When we do start to move in His power, what people may need may not seem all that grand or all that special to you. But God knows what people need, if we are willing to move in His power and boldly prophecy, share and pray for the lost, He will give them what they need and what they need may well be the most simple thing..
