statue of steel and sandstone


statue is under the rock I just needed to chip away what was around it

God's work for our life is a statue.
It is hidden under layers. We need to chip away the layers to reveal the stone. There are many choices in life. We need to act. If our choices are under God and moral He will not let us chip away at the statue. It is a different type of stone. The statue is made of material that is so hard it is impossible to break. It can only be broken by deliberate sin and not by accidend. We will not reveal the statue if we do not act. It will remain under the debris. We will damage it if we are immoral. We can burn through the steel. But when we let go of the flame and pick up the chizzle again the rest of the statue can start to be revealed again. No future damage will be done. God can remold us with his own fire.

God opens and closes doors.
We had a hard time picking a house and knowing if it was God's will or not. There are many nice ones. Are any perfect? But He shut doors that we tried to open. He gave me a price not to go over. I felt it was supernatural. He told us about this house just as it was on the market. If we had not been obsorbed in these other homes we may not have been looking or may have already bought the wrong one. But He made it possible with the repairs. The sellers took care of the windows. He set us up with Rose and Edmund. He helped us with Matt. He had the estimate with Chris. He softened Michael and Dudley. You are before us Lord. May we give credit where credit is due. We can try but success is up to you. And you even used this to remind Tasha how important it is to look for a job now and not wait for the perfect one but instead apply to many of them. If you want something done and it is important to you, you open up the pathways. We still need to work but the fruit is greater.
I hope this house is important to you and a part of you good plan. I know we could do good without it too. This would be a nice place to go from. Thanks Jesus.
Adam
