TODAY’S WORD…

O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are our potter; we are all the work of Your hand.                                                                                                       – Isaiah 64:8

REFLECTION…

God, our loving Father, is the Master Potter, and in His providential ways He forms us – and we do well if we submit ourselves completely into His caring hands.

Occasionally, the actions of the Master Potter may not make sense to us. We may squirm and even complain.

When God’s actions appear painful to us, we would do well to go before Him with humble faith, and ask for strength in acceptance of His will.

God forbid that we should ever think we know better than Him! But what spiritual peace and assurance comes when we willingly place our life in the caring hands of our Divine Potter and allow Him to mould us! Time and hindsight always confirm this to the faithful and loving Christian.

PRAYER…

I am Yours, Father,

hold me in Your arms,

reassure me with Your love,

mould me and make me according to Your will.

Change my heart, O God,

make it ever true.

Change my heart, O God,

may I be like You.

You are the Potter,

I am the clay,

mould me and make me,

this is what I pray.

Your will be done, O God.

Amen.
