Soul Snack 8/151 ... Heavenly Blacksmithing!


Forged on the fingertips of faith, lovingly extended downward from heaven is His iron-clad outreach to me.

The furnace of His faithfulness has manufactured assets (for my mind, body and spirit) as strong as steel, that no stock exchange could ever parallel.

Precious metals, elite education or even supernatural skills are no value match to this heavenly blacksmith's assets 'fired' just in me!

Whether a captain of industry or a failing fledgling in life - His forging for me is already alight.

The giver of all good things has a 'kiln' just alight for me. It removes my dross, fashions my feelings and inflames my faith. He even hammers His imprints, His branding, onto my super-heated surfaces that may still be resistant.

Under His perfectly skilled craftsmanship, He is fashioning an exquisite masterpiece to serve Him mightily now and enjoy Him until forever. This masterpiece is me.

These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:7
