Stonecutters # 1
April 17, 2018
Stonecutters in Solomon’s day had a unique job. I Kings 5. They quarried stone to build God’s temple, placed and cut that stone to fit its purpose in the temple.
We today are God’s temple, Holy Spirit within, designed for His purposes. And He places stonecutters in our lives. Family members, friends, work place people to chisel us, to be stonecutters, removing our rough edges, fitting us more perfectly for God’s purpose in our life. There’s a place uniquely for us in God’s beautiful temple.
First reaction? Don’t like it, don’t want to change, I’m OK as I am. Stop chiseling! But wait. I want to be a beautiful stone, fit for God’s purpose in the place He has appointed. Thank Him for the stonecutters in our lives.
