Assembly

Published by James under Faith on January 20, 2010

Today was my second day working at the John Deere plant and I got a “tour” of the facility. Becides the fact that the place is huge and can easily put out over 2000 units a day at peak I noticed something interesting about the process that these machines go through. The pieces are welded, painted and assembled with care by the workers until finally this large pile of parts has become this shiny new tractor justas we are molded by God.

This got me to thinking how God has made us who we are. Not only did he stitch us together in our mothers womb but he also molds and shapes us after our birth through the situations we endure. The circumstances and situations in our lives are just like the pieces used to build the tractors and God is the worker. The dirty grey and useless parts are carefully cleaed and made attractive redeeming the ugly things in our lives and using them for good. Then these pices are put together in the right order and assembled with care ensureing everything is just as it should be to make the final assembled product. Just as He orders our circumstances guiding them into their exact perfect order to build us whole and complete. Granted it takes a matter of minutes to make a tractor and a lifetime to mold us there are similatities. Remember today that there is a reason for the season that you are going through and God is using this time in yor life , good or bad, for His glory and to shape and mold you into who yoy ate supposed to be. We can not begin to understand His plan for us and we must trust Him knowing that He is in control and knows what He is doing even if it doesn’t seem so.
