Like I have mentioned before, God has brought many trials into our family. Jeremy and I have made a home in the valley because we have been there so many times. But through each trial, God has seen us through it and molded us from it. Our lives are changed because of them. God has our best interest in mind when orchestrating or allowing a trial. We never come out being the same person we were. So instead of complaining or being bitter, we have learned to embrace the thing that God uses to make us more like Him.
He is the potter; we are His clay. He arranges the events of each day to form us into this preconceived pattern. His everlasting love is at work in every event in our lives. On some days our will and His flow smoothly together. On other days we feel as if we are swimming upstream, against the current of His purposes. When that happens, stop and seek His face. The opposition we feel may be from Him, or it may be from the evil one. Talk with Him about what we are experiencing. Let His Spirit guide us through the treacherous waters. Let circumstances mold us into the one He desires us to be. Say yes to the Potter as we go through this day.
Isaiah 64:8; Psalm 27:8
