Men saw that Daniel prayed three times a day despite the king’s decree and he was thrown into a lion’s den for it. Daniel was a scrambled egg. David, a mans after God’s own heart, who slew Goliath in front of two armies, was a scrambled egg. Esther, the queen of the Persian empire, was used by God to turn potential catastrophe into victory for the Jews. She was a scrambled egg. The apostle Paul, chief among sinners, was also a scrambled egg.
At this point, you probably think I might be a little be scrambled myself. However, eggs are used for analogies quite frequently. One such analogy my grandpa used to describe the Holy Spirit i.e. shell, yolk, and white are three parts of one egg. The analogy of being scrambled is this: The yolk represents my relationship with God and my Christian walk. The white represents everything else in life; school, work, family, etc. When eggs are thoroughly scrambled the white is no longer visible because it has turned yellow. In the same manner, our Sundays shouldn’t be the only day we act like Christians. Our walk should match our talk. Our awe and love of God should permeate every aspect of our life so that we reflect who Jesus is to those around us. Jesus calls us to be a light and salt in our world, to be in it but not of it.
This is my desire. I want to reflect Jesus in the spiritually dark places of our world and frankly, the need is everywhere. However, I believe God has called me to be a salt and light among Muslims in South-East Asia while I pursue a master’s degree and complete research at a local university to ultimately help farmers and further their country’s development. I desire to live a scrambled life so that everyone I come into contact with has ample opportunity to see the gospel lived out in my life and ask me questions. Of course, I cannot do this without the prayer support from my brothers and sisters in Christ. Thanks for reading.
