Today I am sharing a few verses of Scripture about the potter and clay and a poem I wrote many years ago; I trust you will receive a blessing as you read!
Isa 41:25
I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Isa 64:8
But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Jer 18:4
And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Jer 18:6
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
Little Vessels
We are little vessels,
Created by God’s hand,
Put here a little while,
To walk in this land.
We are little vessels,
Broken and marred by sin,
God knows our every weakness,
He wants to mold us from within.
We are little vessels,
Who need saved from sin,
And by submitting to God our potter,
Salvation will begin.
We are little vessels,
Saved from sin and shame,
Jesus gives us victory,
Because He lives again.
We are little vessels,
Being molded by His spirit,
Because of His love and grace,
And not by our merit.
We are little vessels,
Being shaped, As He would have us be,
Perfect in His sight,
When the face of Jesus we see.
