Lord, make me over, again!

Introduction

Jeremiah 18:2–6 (ESV)

“Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.

Then the word of the Lord came to me: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the Lord. Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

It’s In times like these, (of new tests and new trails) that we must ask ourselves, “Am I the Potter? or am I the Clay?”. The reason this question is so necessary to ask, is because in times when the struggles we face are no longer familiar, we have the tendency to question if God knows what he’s doing. That surely because we’ve never seen or experienced this before, and because this all new too us, it must be new to HIM! so instead of consulting with the creator, we try and figure a way out of these things all on our own. So now, as we are “Building and Becoming”, we stop building ourselves up on our own most “HOlY Faith”, and start building up on “the best we know how.” We decide that at this juncture, we can take it from here! We lay down our manual, and attempt to be gods over ourselves.
