Let God Press You!

Hello dear friend!

As you are probably well aware... SOMETIMES LIFE IS HARD.

What is even all the more difficult to understand is the question: why does God allow us to go through hard circumstances and situations? Does He not love us? Where is He in our darkest of moments and trials?

I think to best understand this we have to realize who God is and what is His intentions are, we have to turn to Isaiah 64:8. It says:

"Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the Potter; we are all the work of your hand."

If God is truly the Potter and we the clay, we are going to be pressed. A potter must spin the clay on a wheel and then use his/her hands to press and form the lump of earth in order to make the intended master piece. Right now, dear beloved one of God, we are lumps of earth on a table. Unless we endure some trans-figuration and pressing from God, our Potter; we will never fully become the masterpiece He is striving to make us into.

Do not hate the pressing. The process will not always be comfortable, but it is necessary in order to shape you, to make you. And sometimes, that mindset might be the hardest to achieve but as it says in James 1:2-4;

"Consider it the purest joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything."

God wants you to be complete. God wants you to eventually become a finished masterpiece through the working of His hands and be a reflection of His Glory. Praise the Lord for His craftsmanship. Praise Him for the pressings in this life because He wants you to lack in nothing.

Loved one, LET GOD PRESS YOU.
