Bible Verse of The Day – 3-13-19

Psalm 69:5 (NKJV) 5 O God, You know my foolishness; And my sins are not hidden from You.

Sometimes we do things that can make us feel pretty foolish.

There are a few ways to look at these types of choices that we make.

1 – We can learn from our mistakes and glean wisdom and insights that we might not have had if we didn’t make that poor choice!

2 – We can use what we learn to help others avoid that same mistake.

3 – We get to see God move on our behalf, showing us His mercy, love and grace.

Not one of these is any more valuable than any of the others. They all work to make our lives better.

But, more importantly, they all can be used by God to shape us and mold us into the person He wants us to become.

It’s important that we remember that we are all works in progress. We all have flaws and rough spots that God is working to correct and smooth off. And the foolish things that we do are all just part of the process.

Yes, some things we learn more quickly than others. And yes, many times we make a poor choice knowing up front that it’s a poor choice. But if our hearts are in the right place, and we truly want to please God, we will eventually get it right, if we heed His guidance and follow His leading.

Remember, He is the Potter and we are like clay in His hands, being shaped and perfected each and every day.

Jeremiah 18:5-6 (NLT) 5 Then the Lord gave me this message: 6 “O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.
