Are you in the Potter’s hand?
Jeremiah 18:1-10
1 The word which
came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2
Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my
words. 3 Then I went down to the
potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay
was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as
seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then
the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as
this potter? saith the LORD, Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so
are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning
a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have
pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to
do unto them. 9 And at what instant
I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to
plan it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will
repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. KJV
So does God do evil as we see in the scripture we are like
vessels in the hand of a potter and just as a potter works the clay into
whatever he desires the LORD does with us. The question is are you in the
potter’s hand and if so are you obeying what he has told you? Are you following the
path he has put before you? Well if not, you are on dangerous ground.
Verse 8 says “if that nation…turn from their evil, I will
repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.” There is still hope but
first we need to turn from our evil and get on his program. God is good whether
you are experiencing that good right now. He is still God if you are sick, poor
and needy. When was the last time you considered yourself completely in His
will?
I hope this got you thinking and more importantly MOVING! Stay tuned for more don’t know
what we’ll talk about next!
