CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Hebrews 12:5-7 – “And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? ‘My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.’ It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons.” I told the guys that this verse has been on my mind lightly because discipline is difficult. God wants to shape us through physical, spiritual, and mental fitness, but that requires a dedication on our part and a willingness to endure pain. It reminded me of a poem I read recently that I shared with the pax about God’s anvil. It says:
“When God wants to drill a man
And thrill a man
And skill a man
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him
And with mighty blows converts him
Into shapes and forms of clay
Which only God can understand!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes
How He uses whom He chooses
And with mighty power infuses him
With every act induces him
To try His splendor out!
God knows what He’s about.”
All of us can understand that God shapes us through difficulty, the problem is there are so many things that want to pull us off of God’s anvil. At times, it’s a war within ourselves. So stay on the anvil men, and when you are tempted to crawl off, jump back on it, because that is where God does His best work.
