Jeremiah 18:1-23
‘The
pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands, so the potter
formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him’ (Jeremiah
18:4). Lord, this is what You're doing in our lives. You are ‘the
Potter’. We are no more than ‘jars of clay’ (Jeremiah 18:6; Isaiah 64:8;
2 Corinthians 4:7). Our lives are ‘marred’ by sin. Often, we feel like
giving up on ourselves. We thank You, Lord, that You never give up on
us. You look beyond what we are now. You see what we will become. You
are preparing us for ‘eternal glory’. ‘We are being renewed day by day’.
‘We are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory’
(2 Corinthians 4:16-17; 2 Corinthians 3:18). ‘Jesus, You are changing
me. By Your Spirit, You’re making me like You... You are the Potter and I
am the clay. Help me to be willing to let You have Your way...’
(Mission Praise, 389).
