When my wife and I got married, we had two categories of dishes on our gift registry: everyday dishes and fine china place settings. Thirty-three years later, we continue to use our everyday dishes, well, every day. But the fine china sits on the top shelf. It is only for special occasions. Our wedding china has a pattern they don’t even make anymore, so we must be very careful not to break it. The wedding silver has its own special wooden case. It is set apart.
I can’t remember the last time we used our wedding china. In fact, I’m not even sure what the pattern looks like. Still, there it sits on the top shelf just in case the president drops by.
God is set apart like fine china, but He is anything but fragile. He is more precious than the finest silver, but He expects us to involve Him in our everyday lives. He doesn’t want to only be present at special occasions; He wants to be there for every meal.”
The paradox with God is that He is set apart like fine china, but He is anything but fragile. He is more precious than the finest silver, but He expects us to involve Him in our everyday lives. He doesn’t want to only be present at special occasions; He wants to be there for every meal.
