You are still in His hands!

All things in life are temporary.

If going well, enjoy – they won’t last forever.

If going wrong, don’t worry- won’t last forever either!

As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand. (Jeremiah 18:6)

Jeremiah was told by God to go down to the potter's house and see how he makes his vessels:

"The jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so [the potter] crushed it into a lump of clay... and started over" (Jeremiah 18:4). Who crushed it? The potter! Why did he crush it? To make something better out of it!

Here's the good news: life may have crushed you, but you're still in God's hands! Your family and friends may think you're beyond repair but God doesn't, and His opinion makes the difference. Your life may seem to be out of control today, but in reality you're still on the potter's wheel.

"As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand."

One day a friend of Michelangelo saw him working on a piece of marble he'd found on a waste dump near Rome . When he asked the master sculptor what he was doing he replied: "There's an angel inside and I'm going to bring him out." How wonderful! From a piece of reject marble to a priceless work of art. That's what our God does!

When Jesus called His disciples He said: "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). You are not born qualified - you become qualified. How? By spending time with Jesus!

So stay where the Lord has you today and let Him keep working on you. Tomorrow you'll be glad you did.
