Bent by God for His Purpose

"Consider the work of God, for who is able to straighten what He has bent?" -Ecclesiastes 7:13 (NASB) 
As humans, many of us like to create.  While we are not all talented sculptors, we can appreciate the work of artists that bend and twist metal into intricate and fascinating sculptures.  As we look at these creations we may think about how hard it would be to take apart and straighten all of the pieces of the sculpture.

The work of sculptors here on earth may seem too complex to be straightened, but the work of God is even greater!  As we look at God's work, we see a purpose that gives us life.  God's work is also strong enough to stand up to anything that it encounters.  If God bends it, no one can straighten it without His permission!  If something is bent, God can straighten it!  When we are looking for purpose in our lives and for strength to help us, we can always turn to God and trust in His strength and wisdom!

If God bends it, we can be assured by His strength and wisdom that it is for His purpose!

Prayer:

Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for reassuring me with Your strength and wisdom.  Help me to always rely on and follow Your wisdom for my life.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
