Jeremiah 18:1-11
God wanted Jeremiah to know how man is like in His hand, so He sent Him to a potterÕs house. Jeremiah 18:2, ÒArise and go down to the potterÕs house and there I will cause you to hear My words.Ó While at the potterÕs house, Jeremiah saw that the vessel at the potterÕs hand was marred and the potter made it over into a better vessel that was more pleasing to him. As Jeremiah was observing, the word of God went to him Jeremiah 18:6, ÒO house of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?Õ Says the LORD. ÔLook, as the clay is in the potterÕs hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!ÕÓ The same God of Israel is the same God that we serve. Just as this applies to the children of Israel, so it is to all the creation on the face of this earth. When there is a hard lump in clay, it will ruin the vessel as it spins on the potterÕs wheel. Consider yourself in the potterÕs hand and think if there is any lump in you that you know. There might also be some lump in you that you do not know. For you to be right in the hand of the potter, for you to become a vessel that God wants to display for His glory and honor, ask Him to take away everything that is representing lump in your life. The Lord said ask and it shall be given, ask Him to knock off the lump of pride, deception, fornication, manipulation so you will be a vessel of honor to the glory of His holy name.
