2 Corinthians 4:1-12
"But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us."
Watching pottery be made is a fantastic sight. The clay starts out on the wheel as an unnamed and unidentifiable object. Though, over time and often after a few potential restarts, the piece of pottery will eventually begin to take shape in the potter's hands. The clay spins peacefully and gracefully, spiraling in an almost poetic fashion. The majesty of pottery taking shape and holding form is not unlike how God works in us daily. We are created, shaped, and molded by God, through God, and with God becoming beautiful yet sturdy vessels of God's grace, peace, and love.
Where do you feel God shaping you most in your life at the moment?
Masterful Potter, shape us into clay jars. Amen.
