A Word From Walt

For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 NLT

What are the ―good things he planned for us long ago‖? Is it possible for us to know what God wants us to do? If so – and I certainly believe it is – what specific steps are we to take? We began that discussion last Sunday and will continue it today.

In the meantime, as John Ortberg reminds us, it‘s exciting and encouraging to realize that God‘s plans for us are unique and special:

The Bible does not say you are God’s appliance; it says you are his masterpiece. Appliances get mass-produced. Masterpieces get hand-crafted. God did not make you exactly like anyone else. Therefore his plan for shaping you will not look like his plan for shaping anyone else.

… he always knows just what each person needs.

He had Abraham take a walk, Elijah take a nap, Joshua take a lap, and Adam take the rap.

He gave Moses a forty-year time out, he gave David a harp and a dance, and he gave Paul a pen and a scroll.

He wrestled with Jacob, argued with Job, whispered to Elijah, warned Cain, and comforted Hagar.

He gave Aaron an altar, Miriam a song, Gideon a fleece, Peter a name, and Elisha a mantle.

Jesus was stern with the rich young ruler, tender with the woman caught in adultery, patient with the disciples, blistering with the scribes, gentle with the children, and gracious with the thief on the cross.

God never grows two people the same way. God is a hand-crafter, not a mass-producer.

Now it is your turn.

Thought for the week:

Keeping Secrets Sometimes keeping secrets seems the safest course in the beginning, but the damage emerges later. Secrets tend to gain momentum and strength the longer you wait to reveal them. The devil is a lot like a cockroach. He does his best work in dark places, thriving on secrets.

— Romie Hurley

Jonathan’s Journey

ENCOUNTERING GOD THROUGH THE PSALMS Today in our adult classes we will be studying Psalm 62. The introduction and questions are available at the Information Center—as well as the intro and questions for next week‘s lesson (Psalm 46). Please read the Psalm 46 intro below.

This psalm is a song written to extol the presence of God to protect, strengthen and assist us as we face areas of difficulty within our lives. With the presence of God there is no room for fear even when our circumstances tell us otherwise. Life can get overwhelming at times. Often the unfortunate change of a set of circumstances in our lives can set in motion a cascade of events that seems to build momentum with each passing moment. The only hope for being able to determine a secure outcome to the insults we incur is based upon the anchor and foundation of our faith.

Don‘t forget you can listen to John Young read the Psalms each week on the BHCC website!
