Crafted to Glorify Him
As for the terror you cause, the arrogance of your heart has deceived you, You who live in the clefts of the rock, Who occupy the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as high as an eagle’s, I will bring you down from there,” declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 49:16 (NASB)
Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but we will boast in the name of the Lord, our God.
Psalm 20:7 (NASB)
In Malaysia, one of the cultural traditional arts is kite or ‘Wau’ flying. During the kite-flying festival, the open skies will be filled with a beautiful palette of colorful artisans' masterpieces. What a sight! However, these kites will only reflect their greatness and purpose when set in flight, crafted to soar like the eagles, carried by the power of the wind. It reminded me of how easily we may glory in ‘self’, forgetting that the source of all our purpose, beauty and goodness stems from our Creator, our Loving Father who takes pleasure and breathes life into us. In Jeremiah 49, we see God’s judgment against the Edomites, basking in their own strength, their hardened prideful hearts entrapped in destruction, an open book before them. God forewarns the pitfall of sinful pride. As Christ believers, God consistently reminds us to abide in Him, our hearts surrendered to the supremacy and grace of Christ’s Resurrected life. As the Psalmist says, let us boast in the Name of our Lord, our God.
Prayer
Father God, forgive us for our times of waywardness. May Christ enlarge our vision, our hearts be malleable to abide in You our true source of strength and life, to reflect Your beauty and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
