Handcrafted by God
Ecclesiastes 11:5 “As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.”
As the piano keys play softly my soul is uplifted. A song plays that reminds me of the victory of God. My heart is lifted up to the Lord in thanksgiving. Any faith that was not there I sing louder as to bring it forth from the inner recesses of my doubt-full mind. "Jesus has overcome and the grave is overwhelmed. The victory is won, He is risen from the dead." I feel a slight sadness for not trusting my problems to God, when I know how good He is. But the sadness is sort lived. "And I will rise when He calls my name. No more sorrow, no more pain. I will rise on eagles wings. Before my God fall on my knees and rise. I will rise." How true. I can only rise by humbling myself and falling at the feet of God. Just as the woman with the alabaster jar fell to the feet of Jesus so must I fall to the feet of God. I am not able to lift myself up but He is.
1 John 5:3-5 "In fact, this is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God."
I can feel a time of peace coming upon us. With the struggles and the overwhelming attacks from satan, I am so relieved to have rest (even if it is for a short time.)Jesus tells us to come to him when we are burdened and tired and He will give us rest. He has given me His peace to handle the trials, but I feel like a time of just peace is coming. Financially things have been very difficult but Friday will be the first full paycheck since the beginning of the year. Abbie will be out of school beginning next week. Elizabeth has been growing and advancing just as she should. After years of praying the hubby is growing closer to the Lord and is beginning to become the spiritual headship. And I learning how to be the wife and mother my family needs to be, but more importantly I am learning how to be a vessel for God. I am so thankful for all God has brought me through. I am learning to have faith in the potter when He is shaping and forming me.
Isaiah 64:8 Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
