We are the clay, you are the potter. (Isaiah 64:8)Submitting to the hands of the Potter is a matter of trust. I don't have the text in front of me, but in The Bait of Satan author John Bevere writes that if we know God will not hurt us, either in what he does or in what he does not, then we will gladly trust him to work out the best in us and for us.
The question is: Do we trust God? Do we believe he has our best interests at heart? If so, then we can give ourselves to our Potter trusting that what he forms in us will be better than what we could come up with left to our own devices.
Jerusalem had been destroyed and Judah had been given over to the Babylonians. All of this was used by the Potter to preserve, shape and renew God's people... his handiwork.
What's God doing in your life this week?
