Grit

I was up early this morning doing sanding some drywall, trying to get this wall ready to paint.  I can’t relate to you how much I had to sand anything.  It’s so tedious.  But the results when you are finished – Oh wow!.  It’s always amazing to watch something rough and raged turn into something smooth and useful.

What I am glad it that our creator must like sanding, because I think he really gets joy out of the final product – especially when it ( us) bring him glory. So you may be up against the grit now.  Just let it keep refining you, and I think you will be amazed how that makes you better in the end.

 

Praise our God, all peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance. Ps 66:8-12 NIV

What’s been done

I have always been fascinated with the verse in John where he talks about the works of Jesus

25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. John 21:25 (NIV)

That’s pretty awe-inspiring, and humbling.  I don’t think my acts could fill a post it note!

Anyway, some of those acts will come to life this weekend in the new series on the History Channel.  They finally make the book into a movie!  It looks like it might be something to watch on Sunday nights in March – especially since the Downton Abby season is over!   Seriously, it does look like a well done overview of the entire Bible!  Watch a trailer here. Set the DVR!

And take a moment to think about all the things that Jesus has done for you!
