Molded

Kids love to play with play-dough. They love to be in control, and make whatever they want out of the “dough.” There are all sorts of play-dough kits that allow them to make certain things. They put the dough in, push it through, and out comes the finished product.

They feel a sense of pride knowing they made something. We may not recognize what it is, but it doesn’t matter because they believe it’s “something” and we need to go along with them.

“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter” (Isaiah 64:8). “He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. Like clay in the hand of the potter so are you in my hand, Israel” (Jeremiah 18:6).

Since we know He is the potter and we are the clay, we can know He has made something beautiful when He created us. He is molding us into something even more beautiful than we could ever imagine.
