REMARKABLE RESERVOIR
Reservoirs exist in all shapes and sizes. When I thought of the largest one that I knew of---the Hoover Dam in the Southwest came to mind. There are many mighty fine reservoirs worldwide that supply the basic need of drinking water and hydroelectric power as well as enabling activities such as fishing, boating, swimming, water skiing, camping, hiking, and wildlife.
Being super knowledgeable and quite comprehensive, I asked the Internet which was the largest reservoir. It quickly responded: the OCEAN is the largest reservoir. That thought had not occurred to me.
The facts support the answer:
1. 97% of the water on Earth is held by the world's oceans.
2. Oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface.
3. More than sixty chemical elements have been identified in ocean water. By far, salt is the most common. Other major resources used by humans include magnesium,
placer gold, tin, titanium, diamonds, and of course,
fresh water for drinking.
The OCEAN is the world's largest RESERVOIR... Not a bad answer for a machine!
Why not consider the largest reservoir in the universe? I offer to you GOD'S RESEVOIR of GRACE. The GRACE of God is an entity with which to be reckoned. Simply put, it is VAST.
"For the GRACE of God that brings SALVATION has appeared to all men." Titus 2:11
"But because of His great love for us, God, Who is rich in mercy, made us ALIVE with Christ even when we were DEAD in transgressions---it is by GRACE you have been saved." Eph 2:4,5.
Spiritual life and, subsequently, eternal life freely flows from God's reservoir. The spiritual life lost by mankind is now offered back to us.
"For if, by the trespass of the one man, death (spiritual death) reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of GRACE and of the gift of righteousness reign in (spiritual) life through the ONE MAN, JESUS CHRIST." Rom 5:17.
God abundantly provides for His children through His RESERVOIR of GRACE.
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich (pre-earthly existence), yet for your sakes He became poor (Calvary), so that you through His poverty might become rich (spiritually)." 2 Cor 8:9
"And God is able to make all GRACE abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you NEED, you will bound in every good work." 2 Cor 9:8.
God will "tap" into His RESERVOIR for you!
"Now I commit you to God and the Word of His GRACE, which can BUILD YOU UP and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified (experiencing spiritual life)." Acts 20:32.
God's RESERVOIR OF GRACE----->salvation (spiritual life, eternal life), abundant provisions, spiritual richness, all your needs, the building-up Word. REMARKABLE INDEED.
Methinks I just touched the tip of the iceberg!
