Clay in HIS Hands!

“I WANT to be the clay in the hands of the Potter, but too many times I am treating the Potter AS the lump of clay!”

Francis Chan – Author/Pastor

Jeremiah 18  Gives a beautiful illustration of God being like a POTTER in our lives and we are like CLAY. To really gain the benefit of this analogy... we have to embrace it in our own lives!

1.    GOD IS THE POTTER – Our lives are “in the hands” of a living God! The Potter has POWER OVER the clay! We have to yield to the Potter who is TRYING to mold us! Psalm 32:4, Psalm 31:15

2.    MAN/WOMAN IS THE CLAY  2 Corinthians 4:7

3.    LIFE IS THE WHEEL – The wheel spins out of control at times.

4.    CLAY SEEMS TO HAVE A MIND OF ITS OWN... ONLY IN THE HANDS OF THE POTTER CAN IT EVER BECOME SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN PLANNED! – Jeremiah 29:11

5.    GOD OFFERS A NEW BEGINNING TO MARRED OR SEEMINGLY BROKEN VESSELS. Joel 2:12-27

Today is YOUR DAY to be Clay in the Hands of the Potter!

Let Him make or RE-make your life into something Beautiful!

Let Him take your ashes and turn them into Beauty!
