This morning as we reflected on Jeremiah's vision (18:1-6), we were encouraged to:
- Desire God’s hands…for they are hands that desire to bless you; they are hands that desire your good for His glory.
- Depend on God’s hands…for they are hands that are determined to guide; they will direct us toward an abundant spiritual blessing in Christ.
- Delight in God’s hands…for there is no safer place to be than in God’s hands; and there is no more exciting place to be than in God’s hands.
A 2nd century Christian, named Irenaues, left behind this challenging piece of prose.
From God’s Hands
It is not you who shape God; it is God that shapes you.
If then you are the work of God, await the hand of the Artist who does all things in due season.
Offer the Potter your heart, soft and tractable, and keep the form in which the Artist has fashioned you.
Let your clay be moist, lest you grow hard and lose the imprint of the Potter’s fingers.
