JANUARY 10
He Is the Potter, I Am the Clay
BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in Mine hand, O house of Israel.” - Jeremiah 18:5-6
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
God the Potter has the clay upon His wheel—but something happens. It’s marred. It’s ruined. Did God make a mistake? The problem is not in the hands of the Potter. The problem is in the clay.
Now what could be the problem in the clay? First there might be some rock, some hidden impurity keeping the vessel from becoming what it ought to be. There may be some hidden impurity in your life, marring what God wants to do. Or it may just be that the clay is not broken enough. The clay is too stiff. The clay does not yield to the hand of the Potter. What is clay to do in the hand of the potter? We are to yield.
ACTION POINT:
Are you yielded? Can God form and shape you and make out of you what He wants? We must be willing to say, “Lord You are the Potter, I’m the clay; mold me, make me after Thy will.” Have you said, “Lord, here I am, make of me what you wish, do with me what you will”? Most of us dare not dream what we could be if we would allow God to have His way in our lives.
