In the Potter's Hand

"But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand." Isa. 64:8

"The potter takes the clay and molds it according to his will. He kneads it and works it. He tears it apart and presses it together. He wets it and then dries it. He lets it lie for a while without touching it. When it is perfectly pliable, he continues the work of making of it a vessel. He forms it into shape and on the wheel trims and polishes it. He dries it in the sun and bakes it in the oven. Thus it becomes a vessel fit for use. So the great Master Worker desires to mold and fashion us. And as the clay is in the hands of the potter, so are we to be in His hands. We are not to try to do the work of the potter. Our part is to yield ourselves to be molded by the Master Worker." Ministry of Healing, p. 471

Review:

• Bible Thought: Trust the Potter's Hand…He knows what He's doing!
• Blessing: "He makes all things beautiful in His time." I always claim this verse for it promises blessing!
• Battles: To yield to that Potter's hand. :-)
