BEING MOLDED BY CHRIST

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? (Romans 9:20, 21 NKJV).

Will you let your Savior mold your life and make it what He will? All power is His in heaven and on earth. Do not resist His molding touch, or say that He has no understanding of your peculiar difficulties or temperament. Let Him appoint your place in life, and endow you with the wisdom and strength needed for the right discharge of its responsibilities. Who are we to complain and curse our Divine Creator? Arrogant, self-centered, and foolish are such actions! We cannot nor should we content with God for we will lose every time.

By the Holy Spirit He forms in us His own life, leading us to walk in the way that pleases Him best, not following our own desires and wishes, but His; yielding to Him our will and obeying His instruction. This is walking in the light. This is walking in the Spirit. This is the straight and narrow way. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7 NKJV).

PRAYER

Great Potter, fashion us! Wise Builder, frame us! Pierced Hands, guide us where we should go. We will not be perverse children, but submit to Your wise understanding and trust where we cannot see, committing the keeping of our souls to You in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator. In Christ Name I pray, AMEN.
