God's Chisel

Sometimes I forget that each one of us is at a different place in our Christian walk. Sometimes I say things to someone too matter-of-factly for them, at this time in their walk. Sometimes when you are walking with the Lord and striving for that perfection, you forget that not everyone has reached where you are yet. And, that you haven't quite reached where some others are. That is why it is called a walk, not a run. I think it's important to remember that as we go on our day to day happenings in life. We come across people who are struggling with something, and we are not to judge them, or tear them down by speaking things they are not ready to hear yet. Instead, we are to lovingly talk with them, pointing them toward Scripture that will help them on their walk. They could be in a place we have traveled through not that long ago. We should oh so carefully, and lovingly, share our experiences with them, to encourage them on their way. Always remembering to point them to the Lord, in ALL things. because it is only through Him, that we made it through any trial we have gone through. Remembering that He does not tempt us beyond what we are able. And, we can do all things through Him who gives us strength.

Isn't HE amazing?! He always provides for us, He always comforts us, and He always encourages us through His Word.

Here's a little video clip that I watch every now and again to help remind me that God is slowly chipping away at each one of us, in the time of His choosing, when He knows it is right for us. It helps remind me that we are all struggling with something, and that the Lord will deal with us in our own time, which is ultimately His time. Enjoy!
