Burning Question:
What weird food combo do you enjoy?
Morning Devotional:
I love my kitchen, especially my ceramic tile floor. It’s beautiful, durable and pretty easy to clean. It has a big downfall, though. Drop any kind of glass or ceramic item on the floor and it shatters into thousands of pieces.
It happened again last night. I was chasing down my hyperactive puppy when I knocked a glass off the kitchen counter. It fell onto the floor where it shattered into shards of glass and dust.
As I was sweeping up the mess, I couldn’t help but think about a friend who found herself in a similar position recently. She has so much going on in her life right now and the other day, it got to be too much. She fell apart, crushed by the weight and left wondering if she could be put together again.
The good news for her – and us – is that when we find ourselves broken into bits, we are not tossed aside. Rather, we are swept up by a loving Father who uses every broken piece to shape us to be more like Him. Jeremiah 18:4 says, “The vessel He made of clay was marred, so He made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the Master Potter.” You may be thinking of yourself as that broken vessel in need of the Master Potter. You can and will be renewed and transformed by God’s gracious and merciful hand. He will put you back together again.
