The Potter’s Clay

Isaiah 64:8 (New International Version, ©2010)
8 Yet you, LORD, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.

As a believer in Christ, the word says we are clay in His hands…But what about fear?…fear turns the clay hard
Fear allows the clay to begin to turn into a stale dry mass..Completely unshapable

But the potter NEVER throws away the clay
He can wash the old clay in water, and re mold into a brand new shape…including changing its purpose!

Stepping out in faith with God, on what terrifies us the most, is much like the potters wheel.  The clay must be on the potter’s wheel to begin to be shaped and made into something new!

God has BIG plans for you.  Stepping on to the potters wheel may be the hardest thing you will ever do…
But…it will be the most rewarding!

His plans, for your shape, are far more exquisite than you will ever know or could even imagine!

As the potter, He will ALWAYS keep His eye on you, and lovingly shape you to whom He saw you to be...Before He knit you in your mother’s womb

Jeremiah 18:3-4 (New Living Translation)

3 So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. 4 But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.
