Bible Reading:
Isaiah
64:1-8
Key Verse: Verse 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.”
Key Words: we are the clay, and thou our potter
Both Isaiah
and Jeremiah (18:6) used the
illustration of God as the Potter and man as the clay.
Dear friend, if you have
made a mess of your life, God can take the mess and restore it to that which is
useful and beautiful. There is a
beautiful illustration of what God can do with a life that is blotted with sin
given by D. L. Moody.
“A friend once showed a
cleaner a costly handkerchief on which a blot of ink had been made. ‘Nothing can be done with it now,’ said the
cleaner, ‘it is absolutely worthless.’ The
owner of the handkerchief made no reply but carried it away with him. After a time he sent it back, to the great
surprise of the cleaner who could scarcely believe his eyes! In a most skillful and artistic way, the
owner of the handkerchief had made a design in India ink using the ugly blot as
the center for his design.”
The principle is clear: a blotted life is not a
useless life. God can take that blotted
life and make it beautiful and useful for His service, if one would only yield
to Him.
What to do:
✞If your life is blotted
with sin, why not yield your life to
God today? (You can contact us at
Mountain View for help, if you so
desire.)
✞If you know of someone
whose life is in need of the Potter’s
Hand, why not help them by telling them what God
can do for them?
✞Make a list (out of love, not a gossip column) of those who have messed up their life and pray for them daily.
