You are Our Potter

But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand – Isaiah 64:8.

                                       Our God is the potter and we are the clay. We are all the work of God’s hand. By His grace, God transforms us into beautiful vessels that will bring glory and honor to Him. God is molding us and shaping us according to His will to become more like Him. Let us allow God to perform His will in our life so that we can become vessels of glory and honor. God wants to form us into a vessel for honor and useful for the master prepared for every good work - 2 Timothy 2:21.

                                       We are in the hands of God like the clay in potter’s hand and our times are in His hands. Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel - Jeremiah 18:6. God has put treasures in us to carry out His purpose in the world. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us - 2 Corinthians 4:7. We are God’s masterpiece created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.

                                  Like how the clay cannot determine what the potter is doing, sometimes we also may not understand what God is doing in our life and why He is doing it. God’s ways and thoughts are always higher than our ways and thoughts. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts - Isaiah 55:9. So, let us humble ourselves and submit to God’s will like the clay in the hands of potter.

                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are our potter and we are the clay. We submit ourselves to You as the clay in the hand of potter. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
