Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.
Have you ever tried making anything out of clay on a potter’s wheel? Well when I tried it, the pot I made left a lot to be desired! You could say it was somewhat misshapen in my hands and was hardly worth keeping although it was quite funny at the time! I was splattered in clay!😊
As I thought about our verse it made me realise that there are many people who go through experiences which can leave them feeling like that lump of clay, a bit bashed about, battered by past mistakes or just bruised by life. We can probably all identify with moments like that at some time or another.
But the good news is the potter in this verse didn’t leave it all messed up, he made it again. Our God is like that because He is the Master Potter and we are the clay. There is always hope for each one of us no matter how dented and cracked we are. He will make us again and make us into a pot fit for His use.
There may have been days of betrayal or disappointment or heartbreak in life but we can remember that just like the clay is in the potter’s hands, we are also in the loving hands of Jesus who knows how to create beautiful things.
We are all on the Potter’s wheel, and it may feel like we’re spinning around, being prodded and pulled in all directions, but be encouraged, all is not lost, He is making us into something wonderful, of great worth. God knows what He is doing. He is transforming us by the renewing of our minds, changing us from glory to glory till we look like Jesus.
2 Corinthians 3:18(Nlt) …And the Lord - who is the Spirit - makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
We are all being changed into something glorious - He is making us again!😊 Praise His name.
