Good evening Readers, I hope you all are staying warm,
despite the weather outside is cold .I’m so excited to start this new blog and
share what God has placed on my heart. This has been something I’ve wanted to
do for quite some time now, and now that we are moved and getting settled into
our new place I can focus more on my blogs and this exciting new one!
This blog has been in prayer for a while now
and its now just coming to fruition, but its all in Gods timing not mine. I want
this blog to be a place where you can come, and read and be encouraged. There
are many topics that I want to address and ill always be looking for feedback.
This blog is all about issues we as Christians face, topics that some may go
pushed under the rug, some that are misunderstood, but my prayer is that every
topic I discuss is shared in LOVE with scriptures as the foundation I build on!
This first entry I want
to share with you all why I chose the title I did and what it means. So pull up
a chair, get comfortable, sit back, and let the Lord Minister to your soul! The
title for this blog is “Clay Formed” There are two scriptures that I am basing
my title on and they are taken from Isaiah 64:8, which says Yet Lord you are
the Father. We are the clay, YOU are the
potter, we all are the work of your hands.
The second scripture im applying is taken from
Jeremiah 18:1-6, which says! This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the
Lord, go to the potters house and I will give you the message, so I went to the
potters house, and I saw him working at the wheel. However, the pot he was
shaping from the clay was marred into his hands; so the potter formed it into
another pot, shaping it as it seemed best to him. Then the word of the Lord
came to me. O house of Israel, can I not do with you as the potter does?” declares
the Lord. Like clay in the hands of the potter so are YOU in my hand!
Lets take a step back
and reflect on what a Potter does; his fine art of molding and shaping a plain
lump of clay into a magnificent and beautiful piece of work. Have any of you
ever seen a potter at the wheel, I have, they make it look so easy, as their
hands glide so gracefully over the clay,
the wheel spins, its no easy task, if they move their hand one wrong direction,
their masterpiece is no longer that, but
a mess
.It takes practice
and precision to get the art of using that wheel. A couple years back my mom
and I, went to see this ministry called the Potter’s wheel. A husband and wife
gave their testimonies. When he came out
on stage, he had his wheel and just a gray lump of clay. We then watched in anticipation
as he worked that clay, he was so in tune to detail and making sure everything
was perfect, it was a process, but the result was a vase so beautiful, so
delicate, we couldn’t take our gaze off of this.
In the same way, we all are like clay in the
masters hands. Our pasts can be messy; our lives can be full of brokenness and
shame, fears and trials. Only when we
let the Master Potter form our lives, do we start to see what his plans are for
us. We cannot do it on our own, if the potter did not know how to work his
clay, then the outcome is not reached.
When we submit to the Lords calling, and we
surrender our lives fully to his leading, then we become who we are meant to be
in Him. He is the potter, we are the clay, mold us and make us, this is what we
pray! Do we want to be a mess of clay, or in the hands of the ALL-knowing God
who can mold us and make us! now you understand why I titled this blog clay
formed, we are all CLAY in the masters hands, ready to be transformed into masterpieces,
, He is forming us on a daily basis to
be more Christ like created in his image!
