Can God use a sponge?

A few months back, I was annoyed with myself for being so easily influenced, so I called myself a sponge. I then asked myself “Can God use a sponge?”
Upon looking back, I know the answer now.

Yes.
God CAN use a sponge.

God wants people who are open, teachable, and always ready to soak up His word. People who are flexible. God’s ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isa 55:9). So, we need to remain ever ductile and malleable for His purpose. And we should always come before Him with an open heart; in obedience and in humility.

This is what I realised:

IF the sponge is constantly soaked up in the SAME pail of water and if that same sponge doesn’t go from pail to pail but obediently remains in God’s pail, he will be filled and God’s blessings can overflow to the people around.


May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope. Rom 15:13


In Psalms 23:5, the LORD your Shepherd said that He would fill your cup until it runs over. "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over"


Be a sponge in God’s word.
