The Potter's House

Jeremiah 18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
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.
5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
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.
Step over the broken vessels and marred masterpieces where clay is being pounded, wheels are spinning, and the hands off the potter are at work. Off in the distance you can feel the sweltering heat of the furnace in which the vessels are carefully placed in to later be removed.
The Potter’s House
There he sits upon his stool. Sweat dripping down his brow, clay beneath his nails, his hands pressing down upon the mound of clay. Spinning, molding, making, breaking, washing, pulling, pounding, cleaning, baking…
We are at The Potter’s House
Vases, jars, plates, decorative, ornate, simple, costly, big and small…but they are all vessels at
The Potter’s House
It is in this setting that God grips Jeremiah and says “It is here in a place like this…I want to teach you some things!”
Of all the trades that could have illustrated an important truth it was here at the Potter’s House that God wanted to show Jeremiah some things.
A place where things were created- a place where work was going on. A place where the Potter was molding and making the clay into a creation of his very own hands.
I wander if there is anybody daring enough to go with me on a Journey to the Potter’s House!
It may not be an easy Journey---but are you willing to go DOWN to the Potter’s House!
One of the very first things Jeremiah had to understand is:
1. YOU HAVE TO ARISE- to go to the Potter’s House
Jeremiah 18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
I challenge you today to step out of where you are at and what you are doing and willingly to the Journey to the Potter's House! A place where God can change you, mold you and make you into what He wants you to be. Surrender yourself and your will over to God and see what He can do in your life. Are you ready to GET UP and GO to the Potter's House?
