MOLD ME

Mold Me
CD Swanson

But, now, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter; and all we are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8 (NKJV)

Our Father will always act on our behalf. He acts for our benefit in ways that childlike minds cannot always understand. As our Potter, He ultimately molds us and shapes us in ways that sometimes will hurt. But, always— He deals with us in love.

Take a moment to think about past decisions you’ve made on your own, without the Father’s help, or guidance. How did it work out? Usually, without His voice or counsel, things don’t go the way we’d like. 

When we take the time to talk with Him, listen to His voice, and bring Him into the equation of our life…the rewards are bountiful. We may not see it at first, because He sees way down the road. 

He sees ALL things before its fruition, and so He knows what’s best for us, way before we even realize it. Therefore, don’t despair if things don’t happen immediately… according to your will. 

Remember, His will…not ours. 

His plans are perfect, our plans are anything but. We may be puffed up, and think we know what’s best for ourselves. We need to be humble, and bow to His excellent works…and listen and adhere to His will accordingly.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 1 Corinthians 9:24 (NKJV) 

We can’t accomplish much in life when we don’t have a clear purpose and mission in mind. The only way is through the Lord. We need to practice all things, through Him. 

Now, run in peace, with your eye on the prize... 

“Father, all glory and honor be Yours, shine Your light, as You guide and grant us Your perfect peace, and Wisdom, to be an example to all those we come into contact with, in Jesus name, Amen.”
