Jeremiah 18:6 -- On Clay

"O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel."
Jeremiah 18:6


I don't think that God is boasting that he can easily mush us up here like a kid with play-dough.  I think, instead, he's reminding us that he's the creator, and we need to look to God and not to ourselves when we need help, and also when we're making big, life-changing decisions.  ... I think also a great thing about this verse is that it reminds us also that we *can* change.  We don't have to be stuck in whatever sin, or just rut, that we are in right now.  With God's help we can still be better, and work towards being our very best, perfect selves.  Inside and out even, because part of Christ's gift to us will be perfect bodies when these ones wear out. :)

Today, let's remember that we are a lot more malleable than we sometimes feel, and let's go to God and plead with him for help changing the things that we need to change in our lives.
