Choose Your Potter
Isaiah 64:8 offers a meaningful statement for the Believer today. “Now You, God are our Potter.” We all see the submission of the clay in that verse, the awareness of the artistic choices of the Supreme Potter Who is God. Recently I enjoyed a display of crafts and one section of the gallery was of the work of various potters. The lady in charge of that section was explaining to a group of us that the signature of the potter was not only on the piece, but in the style of the work. I began to see the style of each potter; the choice of colors, a flair of handiwork, attention to detail. I began to realize for the first time that the signature of the potter is not only in the name imprinted, but in the work itself. Referring to the full display, the young lady said to our group, “You can choose your potter.” Such is the choice of the clay. We have a voice, we can choose our potter. We are being molded today by some craftsman. Circumstances, the world’s pressure, people – many molders affect us. You are going to be shaped by some potter today. Choose your potter. There is One Who has never failed, Who, knowing the end from the beginning, has infinite understanding of the clay in His Hands, its full potential, its unique usefulness, how much pressing and forming it can stand. Trust Him. Choose your potter today. Say with the scripture “You, God are my Potter.”
