ACE #10: Just Like Play-Doh

There are moments in our lives when we question who we are and whose we are.  Life's circumstances have completely turned us into someone we don't even recognize...maybe someone that we don't even like anymore.  Isaiah 64:8 reads, "Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand".  Potter's clay is defined as: A clay free of iron, suitable for making pottery or for modeling.

Just like a potter, God was patient in our design because he fashioned us in His own image.  He knew us before we were even born. He molded us. He made us for a purpose, a specific one. Even if we've had to be reshaped again and again, God just keeps working with us and never gives up on His design.  We must allow Him to remold us when "the ways of the world" have bent us out of shape.

At the end of the day we really are just like Play-Doh - we're the clay.  Submit to the master potter.
