Update
Cole and I were attempting to make salt dough.
It’s very simple to make. You just combined salt, flour and warm water. As we
tried to put the salt in the measuring cup, we ran into a problem. The salt had
gained moisture and turned into a tight rock. We threw it, shook it and did
everything we could think of to break it. Then I had the idea to get the meat
tenderizer. I raised it above my head and took a big swing. It didn’t do
anything. The salt was so hard. I have no idea why, but I had the urge to softly
tap it. As I barely taped it, the salt started to break off. It only took a
minute or two and we had our cup of salt. As I was looking in the bowl, I felt
the Lord gently open my eyes to how he sometimes shapes us.
There have been times when the Lord has shaped
me in big, bold and hard ways, but more often than not, He shapes me a tiny bit
at a time. He calls me to lay something down or lets me experience something
that I never thought possible. He does this process so that I can continue to
grow and develop. We serve a mighty God that knows exactly when to tap and when
to shake us to our core.
The LORD said, "Go out and stand
on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass
by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered
the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind
there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12After the earthquake
came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle
whisper.
