"The way to peace and victory is to accept every circumstance, every trial, straight from the hand of a loving Father;...."
If you've ever wondered why when we pray for one thing the opposite seems to come our way, then click the links for this wonderful devotion.
There isn't much for me to add here today on this topic. When we ask for specific things in response to God's word, like patience. Almost immediately we feel like the wheels come off and everything in the world comes against us and our earnest desire to become more patient.
This is just the first of so many topics covered in today's devotion and we can all identify with at least one of these. The truth is that only through trials are we able to grow in our Father's grace and become stronger. It should not surprise us that the best things in life come through fire and pressure.
As we look at the most beautiful things in this life, materially speaking as an example, either fire or pressure is responsible for the creation of the product. A raw diamond, created by unbelievable pressure is not the most beautiful thing to behold, however when the craftsman is done.... The craftsman cuts the stone and polishes the stone and with great care produces the finished product that is so desirable.
I could use so very many examples beyond the diamond and space and time limit them here. God, the only expert craftsman in all of life, He alone know exactly what we need and what work He needs to complete to being us to completion. We are each created with a specific purpose by God and as His children, He is on the job as the Master Craftsman. His will and way is to mold us through pressure and fire into the His designed purpose.
Our job today and everyday is to submit to the Master's hand. To ready ourselves to submit to whatever we need to experience in order to grow and become who God created us to become. Choose today to become a willing participant in our Father's plan.
Blessings & Peace
