“Yet You, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.” Isaiah 64:8 (NIV)
“This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord: Go down right away to the potter's house. I will give you my message there. I went down to the potter's house and saw him working at his potter's wheel. But the pot that he was making from the clay went wrong. So he made it into something different as he thought best. The Lord's message came to me, saying, People of Israel, declares the Lord, can't I deal with you just like this potter does with his clay? I hold you in my hand just like clay in the potter's hand, people of Israel.” Jeremiah 18:1-6 (FBV)
We may have free will, but let's never forget who made us and who has the mighty power. Which is why God is “mighty to save!” (Zephaniah 3:7) God has limitless power, but He will not do anything contrary to His nature. And He is a Gentleman, so He doesn't force Himself on anyone; He waits to be asked. But Friend, if you ask, God will lovingly turn your life into something beautiful, like a potter turns a piece of clay into a beautiful piece of pottery! 🙌
