Weathered ---
---The stone that lay day by day, unable to change it's surrounding, beat over and over by the continual water flow, unnoticed by passersby and undoubtedly stepped on, often.
No one saw the shaping process. It was just a stone that sat there, probably years without any purpose. Slowly losing the hard residual that clung to it's form.
However, as each day slowly drifted by, it became smoother and smoother.
Finally one day it was perfected.
Finally one day it was chosen.
Finally one day it was fit for what it had been purposed to do.
All of those insignificant everyday moments had caused it to become fit for the hand of a future king; for use in one of the greatest historic battles of all time.
The shaping hadn't been a curse, but a blessing.
No one noticed it before the day that it was slung.
No one noticed it's use in the process, because the focus was on the fall of the giant and the valiant faith of the warrior and future king.
Yet it was used. Used in a mighty way. The high value of the stone was determined by who held it in his hand.
The simple, insignificant rock that became a significant stone in an unexpected moment.
Suddenly, everything changed.
No storm, or wave or trial is ever wasted. Even if it is not obvious at the time.
Stay the course.
In time, all of the residual from the past will wash away and all that will be left will be purpose.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. ~Ephesians 2:10
