The Work of His Hands

During June when the classrooms are quiet, please pray for the admin staff who faithfully support the mission of Greenhouse. Pray for David Bendele as he oversees a number of facility projects this summer, that each will be completed effectively in a safe and timely manner. Pray for Operations Manager Jerry Smith as he oversees the transition to Google classroom and trains teachers and families. Pray for Barb Kiehn as she oversees purchasing for the new year and helps families transition to a new billing system. Pray that the entire Mission Support team will carry out their responsibilities in ways that manifest the love and glory of God.

With the backdrop of the quiet and impactful ministry of the business office, let’s prayerfully expand our thoughts to consider the formative work of our heavenly Father.

Isaiah 64:8 (ESV)

But now, O Lord, you are our Father;

    we are the clay, and you are our potter;

    we are all the work of your hand.

Consider what it means for you to be clay in the hands of the divine potter. How is God shaping or forming you right now? A clay creation is most easily damaged or deformed before it is fired (bisqued). Contemplate those times when you have been placed in a holy but fiery kiln in order to become solidly formed in Christ. Each ceramic piece is individually formed. How does it impact your life that we are all the work of His hand? Pray for eyes to see and honor that reality throughout the Greenhouse community, as well as in your family and your life.
