God's Ready

"You get us ready for life:
you probe our soft spots,
you knock off the rough edges.
And I'm feeling so fit, so safe:
made right, kept right.
God in solemn honor does things right,
but his nerves are sandpapered raw." (Psalm 7:10, The Message)

It's true that God knows us intimately, even better than we know ourselves. God knows what we need, what we ought to be doing, what we can become. God knows our potential because God created us! And God is working on us all the time to reach it.

If we allow.

It's true that we hold one power that God doesn't control: our destiny. That's because we control just how much God is allowed in to our lives. We choose whether or not God is even a part, and which parts God is allowed to work.

It doesn't mean God doesn't try. In fact God will continue to knock on the door of our hearts until we let him in to ALL parts of our lives. And when we open the door we can finally "pop" with our potential!

We talked this week about parental popcorn, but to make all things "pop" at home, we have to begin with ourselves, by immersing our lives in the "oil" of God and the heat of that relationship will reveal our potential as individuals and make us the peoplep (and parents) we need to become.

God's ready... are you?
