Like many countries, Sweden was looking for the best energy source to power their region. They settled on a process called “district heating,” a process that heats water running throughout pipes in buildings and homes, providing heat for its occupants.
In order to generate the heat, they had to have resources to burn, so they began importing fuel from other countries. But what’s unusual is that the exporting countries began paying Sweden to pick up the fuel. Why? Because the fuel used by Sweden was garbage, literally.
In 1 Peter, we are reminded that “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” (4:10-11)
Our country, like many others, produces an unimaginable amount of garbage. But make no mistake … God does not make garbage. You are special, and you been blessed by God with spiritual gifts to glorify Him and serve others. How will you use those gifts in the upcoming year?
