Formless Clay

3Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6O 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 18:3-6


Today God led me to read this scripture and it really blessed me. Sometimes we can focus on our state that we forget that we are in the Potter's hand. My form is in His control not mine. I can not shape myself into anything great but God can mold me into a vessel that can be used. It is hard to see our lives in the formless state for it seems that we will never be created into anything of significance but if we rest in the Hands of our Creator. He can mold us into vessels that will bring Him glory and honor. The bible states that before honor is humility. We have to be humbled for pride will shatter our lives but humility will bring honor to our lives. God has chosen to mold us into His image let us not fight God but rather submit ourselves to Him. The longer we fight the longer we will stay clay but when we submit to the process God can mold us for His use. Know that your life is in the Master's Hands and enjoy the process of becoming all that God has purposed you to be. God bless you.
