Jeremiah 18

This is my favorite words of the bible. Of course it spoke to me as a potter, but more so, understanding how a pot is made...and remade when it doesn't turn out as planned or pleasing...it tells that God can remake us...we just have to be the clay and let God form us.

Book of Jeremiah

Chapter 18

18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
18:5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18:6 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.
