"Put Iron in My Soul" Psalm 119:175; 2 Chronicles 1-3; John 10:1-23

God sent a man of great skill to build the temple using iron. Huram-abi knew how to work with iron, stone, gold, silver, bronze, wood.  He could do it all---engravings.  2 Chronicles 2:13.

But all I can think of this day is that I want some iron in my soul.  I'm far too flappable, malleable, slippery, flacid.  The Holy Spirit knows how to put that iron in my soul.  

Psalm 119: 175 
Invigorate my soul , O God, 
so I can praise You well, 
use Your Decrees to put iron in my soul. 

No religious lace.

Just iron in my soul. 

God appeared to Solomon in a dream:  Ask for whatever you want me to give you.  2 Chronicles 1:7.

His reply:  Wisdom and Knowledge that I might lead.

This pleased the LORD that Solomon didn't ask for himself but for his calling. 
May this very day, we see through what "only" we can do.
