My last post was “God of Perfection“. After delving into my current study of Exodus, I came to realize that God specializes in using imperfect people, materials or things and turning them into the best mold.
The Bible says that “we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” The “jars of clay” is our mere, frail and breakable human self which God has committed, chose to place his trust in. God deposited great amount of Grace in an undeserved container. The “container” is us. This is an awesome privilege.
Let’s look at some examples. We often hear–no one is perfect–and this is true.
Father Abraham tried to help fulfil The Promise when he went in to Hagar.
Moses, for instance, who led the Israelites out of the slavery land was not near perfect. He had many flaws.
David is forever noted for his famous sin with Bathsheba, yet, he is the man after God’s own heart.
Saul who later turned Paul was a killer of God’s people. He went on to write most books in the New Testament.
So, from perception, God has never relied on man’s ability to do but on man’s willingness to trust and obey Him.
Therefore, God is willing and able to turn your imperfect state to the best if you can yield and obey.
