Potter and Clay


Isaiah 29:16
Surely you have things turned around!  Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, “He did not make me”?  Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
Isaiah 64:8.  But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

Do we try to "make" God in our image, questioning why He does not do as we would?  Or do we see that He is God in heaven who does as He pleases?  God made us, and remakes us in Christ, so we need to yield under His mighty and loving hand of grace and guidance for His, the Master Potter's, good will and purpose.  He gives understanding as we need it and are able.
