Construction Comparisons...part 3

Does a house build itself? Have you ever seen a house putting its walls up? Have you seen a house putting on a rook? Or maybe you have seen a house paint itself? Silly questions aren't they? But what is even sillier than that is us thinking that by our own strength we can build a character similiar to that of Jesus. The only think we can do is to become like clay in the potters hands.

"Potter and Clay. The great Master Worker desires to mold and fashion us. And as the clay is in the hands of the potter, so are we to be in His hand. We are not to try to do the work of the potter. Our part is to yield ourselves to be molded by the Master Worker." MH472

But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8

Just as a house can not build itself, neither can we transform ourselves. The good news is that God does not expect us to do this work. He provides everything needed to be like Him.

I leave you with this beautiful song about being in the Potter's Hand. :O)
