The Lord will perfect that which concerns me. (Ps. 138:8)
I will bring to pass what I have intended to do in your life. Your role is not to run about trying to accomplish My work, but to be My work. My child, allow yourself to be molded by My Spirit, like clay in the potter’s hands. I AM the potter, you are the clay. Not only must you be formed by the potter’s hand, but you need to endure the fiery furnace. This can only be accomplished by being filled with the Spirit. He will cause the flesh to be burned off and bring out the brilliance of My Son. You will then become a fired vessel, ready to contain and thus fulfill My will. All striving will cease. I will give you the strength to accomplish My work, but not before you have yielded to My hand.This was the lesson that Moses learned in the desert. Each obstacle you overcome by My Hand will strengthen you. The fiery furnace you experience on earth is to perfect My children.
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. (Col. 4:6)
In order to know what to say to each person you interact with today, you must lean on Me. Seek wisdom from the Holy Spirit. Don’t react to circumstances or to what others say. Think. Don’t let your emotions rule. Pray. If you do, then your words will be what people need to hear—what their spirits seek.
Salt makes people thirsty. Let your words leave them thirsty for more until they can drink from the fountain of everlasting life for themselves. Remember you can lead others, but you can’t force them to drink.You can, however, make your words and responses seasoned with mercy and grace so they will want more of what you have.
