What's in a Name?

What God hath Wrought.

Merriam-Webster defines the word wrought as follows:

1 : worked into shape by artistry or effort
2 : elaborately embellished
3 : processed for use
4 : beaten into shape by tools
5 : deeply stirred

I can think of no other word which so clearly and poignantly describes the work that the Lord does on our hearts. The means and the end, and everything in between. All is there in that list of five.

In Numbers 23:23 we find the verse. This wonderful promise, this assertion made in the thick of Israel's trials.

Success or Failure.

Peace or Strife.

It is entirely His handiwork and To Him belongs the Glory.

So, What's in a Name? For me - a reminder. The reminder of a promise that regardless of the failings of this day, He is at work. He is the Artist, fully equipped with all of the necessary Tools. I need only Be Still. Thus begins the chronicle of this family's journey through His Workshop.

Please, join us! Come and see what our God hath wrought.

O Lord, conform me and transform me. Work me into shape, ready me for Your use, and cause my heart to be unceasingly stirred.
