Ever heard of a "bio-filter"? It's an interesting illustration.
I think I heard that 3/4 of the word doesn't have clean water to drink that is easily accessible. 3/4.
We're smart. We have technology and we can manufacture so many things- how do people go without water?
A man is collecting bikes to send to Togo so that children don't have to walk for miles and miles to get to school...
Someone else is digging wells so that children can skip the walk to get water and can go to school instead.
Bio-filters can be built anywhere. Can be built with a little bit of knowledge and a small amount of materials.
Here's the thing that I'm looking fr the lesson in- The "bio" aspect of this is that the top layer of this type of filter encourages bacteria and other ugly looking stuff- you would not look at it and think, "Yeah- that's packing something that I want to drink," but beneath that thin layer is where the sweet water is.
The layer over the top will disqualify the water if you look without knowledge of how these things work...
Judgement based on the knowledge common to a man will disqualify receiving from this well.
but there is a knowledge that we don't have until we have been brought into that knowledge... It has to be gained before it is useful.
Seek to understand the rules of the realm so that the blessings will not pass you by because you think that what you see on the surface is present at the core.
Don't be fooled by your weak stomach. Don't be disuaded by your understanding- Get it in you.
See the sheet and hear His voice as He says "don't call unclean what I have called clean"
