The words in today's devotional reading and scripture made me think
of broken branches lying on the ground after a storm. The scripture
passage from John made me realize that I probably have been like broken
branches during some of life's storms when I tried to take care of
everything on my own - without being connected to my Lord.
Words from the hymn, "Have Thine Own Way Lord," came to mind as I read today's scriptures and words of Sarah Young:
Have thine own way, Lord, Have thin own way.
Thou art the potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me, after Thy Will.
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
A
vine can't grow branches without being connected to them. A potter
can't mold clay without holding on to it. Our Lord can only mold us and
guide us by our holding on to Him and by Him holding on to us. The last
line of this verse (above) reminds us how that can be done - by waiting, yielding, and being still! I praise God for His reassurance that He is our Vine and our Potter!
Please share with me and others how you hold on to our Lord - and ways that you know He is holding on to you.
