Grace for your spirit November 14, 2008

But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8

Scripture draws this analogy of the potter and the clay several times. Is the clay equal to the potter? No. Can the pot ask the potter why he made him this way? No. Can the potter remake it or cast it aside? Yes, as he wishes. Since we are cracked pots in the hands of our potter, we must accept God’s sovereign choices, or we will regret it. God does not owe us any explanation for the ups and downs of our life. Right now, everything may not be just like we want it. This is not the time to shout at the potter. When we submit to Him and His sovereign choices in our lives, we will live to enjoy it. Rebel and talk back, we will end up in the dumpster. Let’s choose the potter’s loving hand.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
