This clay has talked back. This clay has questioned. This clay has argued. This clay has attempted to persuade.

Yet the hand of the Potter continued to work against the natural inclination of this clay. Mashed against the wheel, His hand working the lump into a form discomforting this clay.

Pressure of hand and wheel. The will of the Potter working this clay against the circumstance manifest as a potters wheel, shaping this clay into a vessel.

The working of this clay is contrary to the sensibilities and sensitives of today, as the clay must, for once and again, behold the truth that God the Father is Lord, and this clay is not.

The Potters House demonstrates a simple principle: the Lord has the right and authority to work this clay however He wills.

It’s painful. It’s unsettling. It’s not what the clay would want. Yet, in His hand this clay is worked perfectly according to the desire of His heart, according to His plan and purpose for the vessel He is forming for use in His house.

Messiah bought the potters field, so the Potter could rework and refresh the rejected clay (Matt. 27:7-10).

Once rejected, under the pressure of His hand, you are more accepted then you ever imagined; because He purposely and intentionally bought you, and that, at the highest price.

Meditation: Isaiah 64:7; Jeremiah 18:1-4; Romans 8:28-29; 10:8-10.

Be well. Shalom.
