We are Clay in the Hands of God, the Master Potter (10.23.15)

Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. - Isaiah 64:8 

 

Faith Believers, 

Aware now of the horrendous consequences of their rebellion against GOD, the people of Judah called upon their covenant relationship with GOD their Father. In prayer, they reminded Him that they still looked to Him as Father, and as such, asked for mercy from His Hand. 

 

With the same principle, but a different image, they affirmed their dependence upon Him. They were so completely willing to be shaped and molded by GOD, that they said, “We are clay in the hands of the Master Potter.”

 

Just as the people of Judah did, we still refer to our Father as the Potter, and ourselves as the clay. 

 

The clay does not tell the potter what to do, but simply submits to the creative and powerful hands that work it. 

 

Today humbly go to our Father, the Potter, and place yourself in His Loving Hands. 

Let Him shape you and mold you
into what He desires you to become.

 

Lord,

We rejoice that through Jesus,
You are our Father.

We ask You, Father,
as the great Master Potter,
to shape us as You desire.

We are moldable clay in Your hands.

Do Your creative work in us, and through us,
for the sake of Your Name, Your Glory and Your Kingdom
Father God.
 

Amen
