Bible reading: Hebrews 12: 6-11.
Memory Verse: The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psalm 51:17(NKJV)
Continued from yesterday…
So many times, when the Lord is fixing us, He starts by ‘tearing’ us.’ “Tearing” our confidence in ourselves, “tearing” all our philosophies, “tearing” our pride and fake humility, “tearing” the things we hold dearly and giving us the truly dear things.
The only thing necessary is wisdom and discernment – to know if it’s the Lord or not. The devil tears to kill, God tears to Fix. God tears the old to give you the new.
God’s “tearing” fire only refines His own. God’s “tearing” approach only yields the peaceable fruit of Righteousness.
So in reality, God tears no man, He only makes. We call it tearing, He calls it Making. We call it breaking, He calls it building. He knows you have need even before you ask. That’s why when we complain… He responds thus: ‘I KNOW’.
My cloth came out better. You are coming out better too…..
Key point: Endure the process of making into your destiny.
Prayer points
- Father, help me to see every stage of my life the way you’re seeing it, in the name of Jesus.
- I receive grace to endure and enjoy the making process towards destiny, in Jesus name.
