Streams in my desert: The Master Potter - God is the Master Potter, and we must surrender to have Him shape us into the best vessel we can be. Often the shaping is painful; it's hard to give up control and allow God to form us. We can let go in faith, knowing that He knows best and he will never give us more than we can handle in life. When your thinking lines up with God's plan for your life, as Paul's did, all trials and hardships can turn out for good. In the Potter's wheel He will also give you the supernatural ability to grow, if you trust in His process. Rejoice because God is forming you to be a vessel that honors God and carries His glory everywhere you go

"So I went down to the potter's house, and I saw him working at the wheel ... the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him." - Jeremiah 18:3-4

When your thinking lines up with God's plan for your life, as Paul's did, all trials and hardships can turn out for good.

God is the Master Potter, and we must surrender to have Him shape us into the best vessel we can be.

Often the shaping is painful; it's hard to give up control and allow God to form us.

We can let go in faith, knowing that He knows best and he will never give us more than we can handle in life.

Paul is a good example of someone who readily yielded to the Potter's hand.

He suffered many trials but still proclaimed, "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want" - (Philippians 4:12).

He was on the Potter's wheel being transformed into the sovereign image of His Father each day.

In the Potter's wheel He will also give you the supernatural ability to grow, if you trust in His process.

Rejoice because God is forming you to be a vessel that honors God and carries His glory everywhere you go.

Lord, help me and mold me into what you and who you want me to be.

I release control over to you because you can do better than I ever could.

Amen.
