“The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.” So, I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.” (Jeremiah 18:1-4 King James Version)
This is your Sunday Share meditation. Last Sunday at Salt Of The Earth Church (Indianapolis), on Women’s Day, and Mother’s Day, we had one of our members speak. Sis. B, an experienced Christian Educator and Administrator, a faithful worker in the vineyard for the Lord, a child of a mother who met the qualifications of a godly woman listed in Proverbs 31, our speaker is a positive influence on her family as well. She spoke on the subject, “Pieces Made Whole.” If you go to our Facebook or YouTube site, you can hear her message in its entirety. I promise you that you will be blessed.
Some of the things that spoke to me specifically were that when we have broken pieces in our life, they will be used by God for a good purpose. I noted that we cannot let the pieces keep us from optimistically looking ahead in faith, anticipating what the whole will look like when God gets through putting our lives back together, or when He puts portions of our lives back together. Whatever is broken, he can revamp, rebuild, restore, renovate the broken pieces. Sis. B. let us know that “Pieces are just a prelude to God putting it all together.” That’s good news.
As part of her message, Sis. B. presented a long list of biblical characters, notable godly persons who had their pieces made whole, supporting her premise. Listen to her name these individuals, inarguably, undisputably representing proof that God can put the broken pieces of our lives together. Yes, yours as well as mine. Things will be made appropriate in its time.
I hope you take a few minutes to hear the message in its entirety. Have a fantastic Friday. Be blessed!
“He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11 NASB)

The Message Bible reads: “God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time.” Collage wanted to highlight the beauty of how our broken lives can be made whole. Sister B. took the theme for Collage, Pieces Made Whole, and identified several Biblical examples where their broken lives were made whole. She pulled it all together to make it plain.
Won’t He do it! Smile, Dr. G! Be blessed!
