Got Cake

I heard an awesome illustration this week. It was saying how we are like cakes. We want to have that finished dessert right now. But adding ingrediants take time. How much would you like to devour a cup of oil? Not so much.

When God adds the right ingrediants for our lives. Sometimes He removes the things we thought the recipe called for. Then He has to beat the batter to make it smooth. We need to be willing to his stirring. We then have to take the heat of a trial before we are done. Be a fragrant offering during the baking time. What comes out of you when the heat is on?

So much of our life is baby steps and we fail to see we are in process.

Psalm 27:14 (New International Version)
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Father,
I am amazed that You see us already as a finished product. You know where we are going and You have an amazing plan for us. Show us how to include You in our everyday. Help us to believe that this day is just one ingrediant of a bigger recipe. I pray that You strengthen and protect all of the EOD family grow them in real faith.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
