—Jeremiah 18:1-10
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
We can still relate to the metaphor of the potter and the clay. God is the potter and we are mere creations, formed out of simple clay in His hands. God’s role as potter brings on the added dimension of perfection. All creations in Him are flawless. He does not create junk. But as His creation, we can make choices that turn us into wasted clay. God is also capable of taking us, destroying our sinfulness, and reforming and recreating us into something else. As His clay, it is our responsibility to remain His perfect creation.
