OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR 26TH OCTOBER 2020.
In the middle of a beautiful city, there was a museum laid with beautiful marble tiles and with a huge, marble statue as a part of the display. Many people from all over the world visited the museum every day and admired the beautifully crafted statue. One night, the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue. Marble Tiles: ’Hey statue, don“t you think that it is just not fair that everybody from all over the world come all the way here to admire you while ignoring and stepping on me?‘ Marble Statue: ’My dear brother marble tile, don“t you remember we are actually from the same cave?‘ Marble Tile: ’Yes! I do, that is why I feel it is even more unfair.
Both of us were born from the same cave and yet the world treats us so differently now. This is so unfair!‘ Marble Statue: ’Yes, you are right my brother. But, do you still remember the day when the sculptor tried to work on you but you resisted his tools?‘ Marble Tiles: ’Yes, I despise that guy. How could he use those nasty tools on me?‘ Marble Statue: ’Well, since you resisted his tools, he couldn“t work on you. When he decided to give up on you, he started working on me instead. I knew at once that I would be something different and unique after his efforts. I bore all the painful tools he used on me and allowed him to craft me as he wanted!‘ Marble Tiles: ’But those tools were so painful!‘ Marble Statue:
’My brother, there is a price for everything in life. Since you decided to resist and gave up half way, you can“t blame anybody who steps on you now.‘ The marble tiles silently listened to his brother“s words and started to reflect on it.‘ Wow, what an allegory! An allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden, moral lesson. The divine lesson the Holy Ghost wants you to learn from this allegory above is that the harder the knocks you go through in life, the more you learn and grow! Even when you don“t understand all your battles, just trust Him! DON“T COMPLAIN! RESIST DISCOURAGEMENT! The MASTER ARTIST, the DIVINE MASTER SCULPTOR IS ON DUTY! ALLOW HIM TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS!
Tell those laughing at you that your GOD, ’JEHOVAH the SCULPTOR‘ has not finished with you yet! And never write off yourself because your best is yet to come – because your God sculpts your character and prepares you for a greater future here and in heaven via each trial He allows! He can take a sinful human being and mould and chisel and hammer away until that person reflects something of heaven“s glory. Example is Jacob – today“s scripture (The LORD had to dislocate his hip after a PAINFUL divine chiseling and hammering wrestling encounter, in order to mould him into a man of character via a new name)! Sculpting involves chiseling, filing, maybe even the breaking off of parts. Wow! Pain! Screams! But the end is: YOU BECOME A TOURIST ATTRACTION AND A TESTIMONY that there is God! What areas in your life need to be sculpted a bit more? Pray now!
