Thoughts for another day

August 3, 2012.

Today's verse: Is. 64:8. But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

All said and done, the above Scripture is to be the perpetual refrain when we are before God for truly He is our Father; our Potter and we are the clay, the work of His hand.  He moulds us according to His special pattern He has conceived for us in the heavenlies, beautiful and amazing; to stun the hosts of heaven, reason why envy lurked in lucifer's heart by which also, he fell and was banished.

Dear friend know for sure that God who is our Father will never dump us, no, not even if we never acknowledge Him as our Father.  He is yet, with us and coaxing us ever so gently to move from the erroneous ways that we have made our own and get on to a delightful meadow where we can graze on His Word and experience the splendor of His being.  Where silent waters will soothe our souls with their heavenly sheen and where the paths of righteousness will be the stretch on which our feet will trod.  All this is possible and real for He has made us to partake of Him.

The earth is a place where we only sojourn for a while; a few years and we're gone.  In these years unlike what man thinks and does to amass wealth for himself and his family, God seeks to transform us from glory to glory so that we can eventually reflect the nature and character of His Son.  We're put here for a purpose which is higher than any other purpose and is to make praise unto Him the fruit of our lips and make our beings entirely conscious of His Presence and goodness all the time.  Trouble and sorrow we may have, but we must remember that Jesus faced them too and overcame them all.  We too will overcome for we also are the work of His hands.  This day as we move about our business on earth, let us become aware of His work that we need to do and strive to do it with all that we are and Grace will fill our hearts even to its over-pouring.
