God is the Potter and We are the Clay (7.10.19)

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 as their Father. In prayer, they reminded Him that they still looked to Him as Father as they asked for mercy from His Hand. 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 should 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.  We should humbly come to our Father, the Potter, and place ourselves in His Loving Hands to shape us into what He desires us to become.

Lord,
We rejoice that through Jesus,
     You have become 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 and Your Glory. 

Amen
