A picture of Dianna and me at the beach, during one of our morning devotions. Always playing in the sand!
We had alot of fun!
Earlier this week, I was reading in Genesis 22 about when Abraham took Isaac up the mountain to be sacrificed. I felt very challenged by it. How many times has God asked me to give something to Him and I've held back? Abraham was asked to give up his one and only son, someone that could not ever be replaced and he acted in such obedience by following God. I was just so impressed by the degree of which Abraham was willing to give. While I'm sure his head was heavy climbing that mountain he meant to follow God's command. What has God asked me to sacrifce? Or what have I been holding onto? Do I trust God to know best and to provide? Maybe you hold onto money instead of relying on God to provide for your needs. How miniscule money seems when put next to the sacrifice of a son! Money is replacable but people are not. The sermon today at church was about how God is the potter and we are the clay.
Jeremiah 18:3-6
"Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?" says the Lord. "Look, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!"
Am I submitting my life to the potter? Do I completely trust Him to make me into a beautiful vessel crafted for a specific purpose? I pray that God would continue to mold me so that I can follow His plan for my life. Trusting and serving Him.
