Clay Pots | Feb. 28th

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

Isaiah 64:8

When I was a child, my mother had a small picture of a little boy on the fridge. It was a drawing with a quote on it, " I know I'm somebody 'cause God don't make no junk!"

This childish little character spoke the truth. God does all things well, and it would be good for us to remind ourselves of this. We are the work of God's hands, and we are precious in His sight. There is nothing that can befall us that the Lord does not know. He works all things for the good of our salvation, and nothing can separate us from the love He has for us in Christ.

We must also know that we belong to God. He created us for His purposes, and we are not our own. Daily, we seek the Lord while entrusting ourselves, knowing that the exalted end of our life is to live for the glory of God.

We are the light of God in our families, friends, and every person in our lives. Let us live for the glory of God as His chosen vessels today, filled with His Spirit, serving Jesus to all those around us. We are the clay, and our Father is the potter. He has created us for his purposes.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
