 The
six-foot high slab of marble awaits the sculptor’s
chisel. Blow by blow, bit by bit, the master artisan
shapes the shapeless into a masterpiece. Surrounded by
shards of stone, a satisfied artist lays down his tools
and stares in wonder at the form that has emerged. It
is finished, perfect, a work for the ages. God shapes
us into who he wants us to be, too. The artist’s medium
is stone or maybe clay; God works in flesh and blood.
The artist uses his hands, a mallet, chisels of various
shape and size; God uses people in our lives to make us
into who he wants us to be.
Our relationships – both those that are good and those
that are bad – shape us and mold us. It is unlikely
that David would have become “a man after God’s own
heart” without the people he experienced – and in some
cases endured. This series will explore some of those
relationships and how they shaped David to become who he
was. Along the way we’ll learn that God has placed
people in our lives to help shape and mold us into who
He wants us to be, too. |
