Digging ditches 07/15/07

My pastor brought a message about digging ditches and how that prepares you for entering into the will of God. He used a passage from the Old Testament, I can't remember which one, where an Israelite King was told to dig ditches to prepare for water which wouldn't come from the sky or the wind. The king was being obedient to God so he dug his ditches.

My pastor said that we should just focus on seeking God's face and doing what is in front of us to do. We should be undistracted and ready for God to move. We need to approach God with clean hands and a pure heart in obedience to His Spirit. That is where I long to be. I long to dig my ditch and wait for God's Spirit to feel it with water.

I know I simplified my pastor's message more then it was warranted. But I felt the need to write this down.
