I have a collection of pottery. I love pottery and have had a long relationship with beautiful clay pottery for many years. When I look at the handiwork of pottery, I can see the scripture as spoken in God’s word.
Isaiah 64:8. 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.
The imagery of the potter and the clay in the Bible symbolizes God's sovereignty and His ability to shape and mold humanity according to His will.
These are things I see...
Humility — Clay begins as something ordinary.
Hope — Even a collapsed piece can be reshaped.
Connection — The potter’s fingerprints remain forever in the finished vessel.
I hope this will bless you the way it has blessed me... with a heart full of joy and appreciation!
A question to deepen your reflection.
Which part of the pottery process- the shaping, firing, glazing, or the final form speaks to the spiritual meaning you see in this scripture, Isaiah 64:8?
May many blessings be yours,
Judy
