LIFE IS LIKE MAKING CAKES

Isaiah 64:8 NIV Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Life is a bit like making cakes! We throw all the ingredients in the bowl, then they’re beaten together and the mixture looks all lumpy and messy to begin with, but then it all begins to come together as we smooth it out and put it in the oven, and the end result is a delicious cake we can all enjoy!

In the same way we may feel like we’re sometimes in the lumpy messy stage, feeling all beaten up, when one thing after another is thrown in the bowl at us. But we need to know God’s hand is on us and the end result will be something so delicious and worth waiting for we’ll stand back and be amazed at what God has done in us and through us. (Job 12:10 NLT For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.)

So don’t be tempted to open the oven door before the situation is resolved and wonder why it’s not ready yet, otherwise it might fall flat! It just takes time!😊

God wants us to trust His timing and His process. If He’s not changing our circumstances He’s changing us! God is working in the background resolving situations but He’s also making us into something special at the same time.

So, be encouraged today to not give up, no matter how hot the oven gets or what stage the cake is at! God knows what He is doing and He’s promised us His strength and His help because He’s in it all with us to hold us together and make us rise! 

Just imagine - You’re being made into an amazing gateau!😊 Thank You Lord. Amen.
