Tools

I saw a funny commercial the other day where they were using  a big stuffed bunny (perhaps the Energizer bunny??) to  try to break down a wall. The people standing by said, "Wow, this is going to take awhile."" The commercial was an advertisement for using the right tool.  As soon as I saw that commericial, I heard HIS VOICE.
 
We are God's 'TOOLS" ... people utilized to carry out the designs of another......devices for performing work.
 
 
We are all different, made for different works that God wants us to do. It is up to Him what kind of "Tool" we are and how he wants to use us. He is the Master Builder and with his great wisdom knows EXACTLY what kind of tool he needs to perform a certain kind of work. Our job, is to allow Him to use us.......to totally surrender our will to His.
 
"Does the AX raise itself above him who swings it, or the SAW boast against him who uses it? Isaiah 10:15
 
An ax doesnt' ask to be an ax. It is what the Creator designed and created it to be.
All tools are useful and NEEDED at the right time, in the hand of the Builder.
 
 
May we be sooo thankful that we are any kind of tool at all and given the opportunity to be
"Useful to the Master."  May we accept and be all that he made us to be. May we not try to CHANGE "ax's" into "saws." 
 
"Does not the Potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? Romans 9: 21
 
 
 May we be patient for Him to use us at just the right time when he needs the exact "Tool" that we are.  May we TRUST him to know what tool is needed at the right time. May we praise Him for all the different tools he has in his toolbox.  Hammers are wonderful but where would I be without my screwdriver???? Blessings from Bombadil. Kristy Link.....
