My mother-in-law gave me a small wooden box the other day. It's maybe 3×5 inches and the lid is inscribed "The Inspired Box," although you can barely read its gold lettering.
She suspected that I would appreciate the contents of the box since I am a pastor. As I opened the box, I was a little intrigued about what I might find. It was obvious that the box was older than me and maybe even twice as old as me.
Inside I found tiny scrolls, each containing a scripture verse (KJV version). It was designed for the recipient to draw a scroll from the box and to be inspired and blessed by the promise the Word provides. You can place the scrolls back in and reuse the box over and over.
I wonder how many people in its lifetime have pulled out these tiny scrolls and heard the Word of the Lord? I wonder if this tiny box sat in room unused? Did it fulfill its purpose? Or has it yet to be explored?
I don't know the answers to those questions. However, I am going to bring these scrolls to you as I pull them from their box. And perhaps together we can be inspired!
