Fine China by Laurie McTier
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." Psalms 18:2
"Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." Psalms 32:7,8
I remember as a youngster going to Goldsmith's Department store to visit with my grandmother on her lunch break. I loved to spend time with her. After we sat down and ate a snack together, we would walk through the store to see the sale items. My grandmother trusted me and allowed me the freedom to walk ahead of her, as long as I stayed within site.
When we came to the China department, we had three rules.
1) Do not touch
2) Hold my hand
3) Walk very slowly
One day as we walked through the store, I was walking ahead and before I knew it, I was in the china department. I turned around to find my grandmother, and just as I did, I bumped into a display, and a teacup came crashing down. She didn't have to say anything, I was scared, and already in tears. My grandmother ran over to me, she knelt and gave me a big hug, dried my eyes, then began picking up the pieces.
Our lives are like the fine china in this story. We are God's vessels and His ambassadors. God has the same rules for us in our daily walk. His Word says that we should depart, and not touch the unclean things in this world. He desires holiness and purity in our lives.
God wants us to seek His face and allow Him to guide our steps. Keep your focus today. Hold on to His hand and He will show you His will and His way. Walk slowly and don't step out in front of His plan and His design for your life. His Word promises that He will be our rear guard. He will go out before you and behind you. He is our shelter and protector.
