That Vibrant Life

Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it Than a house full of feasting with strife. A servant who acts wisely will rule over a son who acts shamefully, And will share in the inheritance among brothers. The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests hearts.  Proverbs 17:1-3 NASB

God, thank You for the challenges, yes Lord, please continue to complete the good work You have begun in us, prepare us to serve and live and worship in the new creation. We cannot imagine the fulfillment of that vibrant life lived in Your presence when we will finally see You clearly in Your magnificent glory and perceive Your incomprehensible splendor.  We worship You God. It is surprising and amazing that You use even the distortions, brokenness, and corruption brought about by sin to prepare, purify, train, equip, and test us. Your wisdom is inscrutable. Thank You Jesus, You bring life out of death, victory out of defeat, strength out of weakness, and glory out of humility.  We trust You. We are clay in Your hands. Mold us. Use us. Hallelujah!  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness, prayed together in Your holy holy holy name King Jesus, amen!
