God opened my eyes last night as a group of friends gathered at my home to study God's holy word. This morning I met with a different group of friends to pray and the same scriptures were discussed.
Paul tells us in Romans 9:21 (NIV) that the potter has power over the clay when he writes, "Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?"
God molds us like clay and makes us into what we are to become. Too often we forget that God is the potter and we are the clay. He has all power over us.
In Jeremiah, God's word tells us that sometimes the pot is marred. "But 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 (NIV)
Sometimes when we are not following the plan that God has for us, our life suddenly changes. Our potter takes us and breaks us and makes us into what he wants us to become.
If you are in a stormy season in your life right now, take comfort knowing that God might be taking you breaking you and making you to become what he intended you to be. Take great joy and comfort in knowing you are in the hands of the Almighty and nobody loves you more than He.
It is written, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:8 (NIV) Praise to the King of Kings. Not my will but thine be done!
