…in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  Ephesians 2:7 
 
Did you know that your Heavenly Father plans to show you off one day; to display to the world your character and commitment to Him? That means what you're going through right now is important, because God's weighing it in the light of your future. He never measures us in terms of our present condition or comfort level. No, He has a far greater plan in mind. Listen: 'God knew [us] before He made the world, and He decided that [we] would be like His Son...' (Romans 8:29). Just like Him; doesn't that blow your mind? 'In the coming age,' He's going to put us on display and say, 'Look at My workmanship. Can you believe that I made these glorified creatures from clay? When I first scooped them off the ground they wouldn't hold water. But I molded them and raised them up until they held relationships, and ministries, and concepts, and jobs! What you heard about them was true! They were a disgrace and a disaster, but My grace was sufficient. Now they will sit with Me, ruling and reigning forever!' When it comes to performing the impossible, Houdini and P.T. Barnham were amateurs compared with God. Could they have parted the Red Sea, put the sun on hold for 24-hours, resurrected the dead and done it with such style? Guess what? That same God is at work in your life today too. Why? Because He plans to show you off! Incredible as it may sound, when He gets through with you, you'll be 'something else'!
 
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for shaping and molding me and always seeing the big picture of my life.  Help me be the piece of clay that can be easily molded.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen
