The Potter

  We are the clay, you are the potter - Isaiah 64:8.

               Our God is the potter and we are the clay. Like clay, sometimes we may not understand what God is doing in our life. But the plans, ways and thoughts of God our potter about us are always higher than ours. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future - Jeremiah 29:11. 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.

               We are in the hand of God as the clay is in the potter’s hand. Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel - Jeremiah 18:6. Like clay, let us allow God to refine us and mold us to become more like Him. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit - 2 Corinthians 3:18. But we know that when Jesus comes, we will be like Him - 1 John 3:2.    

               Let us thank God for being our potter and working in our lives to cause the plan and purpose He has for us to come to pass. Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. - Philippians 1:6. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of for me. Philippians 3:12.

                                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We surrender ourselves into Your hands. We thank You for being our Potter and constantly refining us to be more like You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
