day no. 16,109: you are shaped by what you make

2 Kings 17:15

They went after false idols and became false.

You become what you behold.

You realize what you run after.

Psalm 135:15-18

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;

they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.

Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them.

You are shaped by what you make.

You are formed by what you place your faith in.

2 Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

When you make the glory of God the Father your goal, you grow in the Son by the power of the Spirit.

Everything is going somewhere, and sooner or later it's going to get there.

Everyone is becoming something, and sooner or later is going to be it.
