MADE TO SERVE A KING

O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says the Lord. Look, as the clay  is  in the potters hand, so  are  you in My hand, O house of Israel! (Jeremiah 18:6 NKJV)  

It is a fascinating thing to watch a potter take a lump of clay and turn it into a beautiful vessel.  He works and works the clay on the wheel and then He shapes and molds it into the desired image in His mind.   If the end product is not what He desires He returns it to the lump and starts all over.  Does that sound like what God is doing in your life right now?  Does that feel like what you might be going through?  Your life is on the potters wheel today.  He is taking His time to shape a vessel that He can use to serve others.  Don't jump off the wheel and run from the potters hand.  Submit.  Sit still and wait for the touch of the maters hand.  Don't be upset at the type of vessel that He's creating.  He knows what is best for you as He is the one who created and wired you the way you are.  This is not an overnight process but one that will take place over your whole lifetime.  When He's done you will be fit to serve a king!
