"Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord : Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth..."
Isaiah 51:1-2 NIV
What a great picture pointing the people back to their spiritual beginning in the quarry of God's workmanship...and it's Abraham and Sarah who entered into a covenant relationship with God.
For us, we look back to the New Covenant, to Jesus.
The rock from which we are being cut is Jesus.
We're being formed into his likeness, chipped away at, shaped...the artist can see the beautiful thing being created from the raw material from the quarry, taking shape...God is at work in us and through us in his labour of love...

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
