God’s Chisel
The Impact of God’s Chisel
Life can be painful sometimes, let’s face it, even excruciating.
Are you at your wits end?
There could be a number of reasons for the trial you’re going through.
We have to face up to the fact that God allows these challenges.
God’s chisel is always at work, but there’s a reason.
I look back on some of the distressing events in my own life.
At the time, none of them made any sense except that looking back, God had used those sad times to grow my faith.
God always has a divine reason for everything He allows. With every trial we can experience His love and great compassion for us.
God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty. – Peter Marshall, Presbyterian Minister.
God’s Chisel and a Not-To-Miss Video
Recently, the youth group at our church put on a dramatic presentation called, “God’s Chisel.”
It was so well done and unforgettable, that I wished I had filmed it.
A search on YouTube gave me the next best thing – the original from The Skit Guys that their presentation was based on.
The title of this amazing video is called, “God’s Chisel.”
I contacted The Skit Guys and the only “official” version they had available was for a very large mp4 file used for church-wide presentations.
Thankfully, they do have a “Preview” version which is available on YouTube.
Before the video starts though, what’s this chisel analogy all about?
When I think of the word “chisel,” my mind immediately goes to a dentist’s drill.
Can you imagine having an offending tooth drilled away without Novocaine?
In life, when challenges and trials drill away at us, it hurts deeply.
This video, just shy of twelve minutes, is worth taking the time to watch.
I have to hand it to The Skit Guys – they produce some really meaningful presentations, with just the right amount of humor thrown in.
When you look in the mirror and all you see are your problems, remember that you are God’s creation and He is molding you into something beautiful.
