DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 33; Daniel 1; 1 John 3
Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in Mine hand,
O house of Israel. Jeremiah 18:6
When the potter gets to work upon his wheel, he expects the clay
to be completely pliable under the pressure of his hand. Speaking
with a potter one day, he told me that the hand that does the shaping
is the hand inside the vessel, and that the shaping takes place from
the inside outwards. Surely this is the Lord’s desire for us, that we
should be fashioned according to his desires, and that we should recognize
that the work must begin on the inside, rather than with the
outward appearance. We must allow the Spirit to do his work within
to produce the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. —W. H. Burnett
Have thine own way Lord! Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter, I am the clay. —Adelaid A. Pollard
