In the Potter's Hands...

A friend shared this with me and it struck a chord deep in my soul. We are the clay, He is the Potter.

The time of solitude feels scary, but it can be a really sweet time of fellowship with the Lord Jesus, who needs to be ALL in our lives. It can be a time of spiritual renewal and revival. I can be a time of learning in the quiet without the distractions of other endeavors and other situations going on.

May you be blessed and encouraged by this short video.

 

 

 

I was thinking, as I listened to this message,

how beautiful God makes things...

from the seasons in nature,

autumn splendor right now with all it's

beautiful flowers doing summer's last dance

and the berries of many shades and sizes,

and apple orchards hanging heavy with fruit,

the scent of the vineyards with their ripening fruits,

soon to be colored leaves on the maple trees~

the same One who makes all that

is the Potter who molds and shapes our lives

into the thing of beauty

FOR HIS GLORY

that He has in mind for it to be

if we let Him have His way.

 

So go ahead:

listen to the Voice of the Shepherd

and be as clay in the Potter's hands,

becoming beautiful for Him

and of use in His plan...

My friend also sent me this song and I was totally blown away.
It could almost be me singing that song!
So I share it with you as a testament to the fact that
YES! He knows how many times around the wheel
til we know His will and submit to it.
Beauty comes from being in His will.
Even if it is far, far different than what we
envisioned for our lives.
I love where God has me.
I love doing the work He has given me to do.
And there is a great calm in my soul
with the knowing that as I seek His face,
and desire to grow in Him,
He will always have me exactly
where I'm supposed to be.

Hallelujah!
