Leave Your Sandals-Craig Rice-April 21st 2024
bible reading: Jeremiah 18:1-6
1 The Lord gave another message to Jeremiah. He said,
2 “Go down to the potter’s shop, and I will speak to you there.” 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.
5 Then the Lord gave me this message:
6 “O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.
devotion:
Today, we focus on the imagery of the potter and the clay. The Lord, as our Potter, has the right and ability to shape us for His purposes. As we read in Jeremiah, consider how God is shaping your life and how you might be more receptive to His touch.
Question for reflection:
Are there preconceived ideas or patterns that need to be broken for God to mold you anew?
