The Potter's Hands

Isaiah 64:8

8Yet, O Lord, you are our Father we are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

The prophet Isaiah talks of how awesome God is but how we often fall because of our sin. We turn away. Yet God is still our Father. Have you ever watched a clay potter spinning the wheel with the clay? Have you ever watched how the clay molds gently to the potter's hands? With one motion the clay can change direction. That is what Our God does with us. When we fail, it only takes one motion and He can change our direction. One motion and our perspective can change. God is the one who does the molding, we bend to Him. When the clay gets rough on the wheel, the potter can add water to soften it up. Our water is the Living Word. His name is Jesus. When God adds Him to the mix we bend to His motion easier.

P.S.
We are in the season of Lent. The forty days until the resurrection of Christ. Jesus willingly went to the cross. His mission was love. In what way will you show love to Jesus?
