This week has been a good week, mainly filled with operation of the bull dozier, backhoe, and motor grader. Today was a project of putting in a large culvert, to divert water off the road way. As I was working the backhoe to make room for the culvert, I got to thinking about the control I had to work the earth and move the water in the direction I wanted.
God, like the project of moving the earth with the backhoe, does the same with us. He shapes us, molds us, and formed us the way He wanted.
Isaiah 64:8 (NIV1984)
8 Yet, O Lord, you are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
And like today's project, which turned out as planned, God's making of us, turned out the way He had planned.
Have you thanked Him today, for the way you were made?
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for another day you have given me. Forgive me of my complaining, and help me to seek your will for my day to day affairs. Let us focus on the talents and abilities you formed in us, rather than those we think we need, and do not have. We know you have plans for us to prosper, and ask for guidance through the Holy Spirit to bring glory and honor to You, and You alone.
For it is in Jesus name I ask and claim these things, Amen!!
God Bless,
David B.

David, always pondering on His mighty works, and even though He may have broken the mold after He made me.....I still praise Him for His continuous shaping of my life...Praise His Holy Name!
Thanks David, glad to know that God is still shaping me today
