Never reuse the coffee grounds

“Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.” Hebrews 7:25 NLT

It's like I know it but I don't. It's like I have the software but I don't know how to use it. My new coffee pot is acting up again, lol. Ya I only paid $20 for it, but c'mon, it shouldn't be like this. While I wait for my 3rd pot of coffee to be made (stupid thing). I'm reminded of an incident I had with my mom about 13 years ago. We were having dessert at there house and the coffee just didn't seem right. I asked her if she had reused the coffee grounds. She told me she did, she didn't think it would make a big difference. I forgot she didn't drink coffee. I told her you never reuse the coffee grounds. That's like reusing your bath water for the next day. How many times have I thought I could reuse my thoughts or actions, habits simply because I don't think it will make a big difference. Man that coffee is taking forever. When God has given me a way to renew them in Him. Yet sometimes I don't take it. It's like I want to, but my body doesn't. I'm getting better at it. It's really tricky because unless I've tasted coffee rather than only serve it, I wouldn't know the difference. Coming to God and getting help. It's like my grounds are old at the end of the day and the refreshing of scripture the next morning is my starting with new grounds instead of just shaking them up a bit. And even when time doesn't permit, God has a way of making them new. Man I'm tired, this $20 piece of crap thing. Finally I have coffee, a little too strong but whatever. What was I talking about now? Sip some coffee, I read and think. Sometimes I forget that the coffee grounds are even there.  Whats amazing is how God knows when mine are shot and helps me to replace them in his timing. Hits me, the bible will never be old, even though I think it to be. It will never need to be changed out with a new filter because Christ is that filter and he lives. Even though I think it will at times, it doesn't. Just as I turn in for the evening with whatever baggage I have is just how I need to be looking forward to starting a new day without those old grounds (or at least try to). God will give me a new flavor too.
