Is God Your Potter or Are You Fooling Yourself?

Do you allow God to reshape your human understanding, human reasoning, and human values?

When we become Christ-followers, God becomes our “potter” and we become His “clay” (Isaiah 64:8).

As a new believer, I recall how He began reshaping my thoughts, speech, and attitudes, prompting me to stop reading certain books, listening to certain music, and viewing things from a selfish perspective. He was changing my worldview, and it was both hard and wonderful at the same time.

And that process continues as I grow closer to Him. 

Many people claim to be Christ-followers, but they're leading, not following. They're unchanged because they've created “Jesus” in their own image—the popular “Jesus” of culture who is merely a lump of clay waiting for his followers to shape him into their image (Isaiah 29:16). 

But no one changes the living God (James 1:17). He changes us. 

“In view of God’s mercy…offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God…Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2

I am so grateful God put me on His “potter's wheel” and began changing me 50+ years ago. And I'm also glad that I can't change Him!

 

Who is the potter in your life?
