Praying for our Sons

the heavens declare the glory of the Lord

Thoughts for today...

Around the turn of the 20th century, a bar of steel was worth about $5. Yet when forged into horseshoes, it was worth $10; when made into needles, its value was $350; when used for pocketknife blades, its worth was $32,000; when made into springs for watches, its value increased to $250,000. 


What a pounding the steel bar had to endure to be worth  this much! But the more it was shape, hammered, put through fire, beaten, pounded, and polished, the greater its value.

May we use this analogy as a reminder to be still, silent, and long-suffering, for it is those who suffer the most who yield the most. and it is through pain that God gets the most out us, for His glory and for the blessing of others.
