“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64:8
God can make us and mold us into whatever he sees fit.
If you think of a lump of clay or let’s just say Play-Doh because I know everyones had that at some point or another, when it sits out, not molded, you get a dry rock unable to be used. Yet, if you take that same piece of Play-Doh right out of the jar and begin to mold it, you can make it into whatever you dream up.
God as the potter does the same thing with us. He takes our unformed body in the womb of our mother and begins molding us together. He starts with just the body itself, what it will look like, how it will function, and then he begins to mold our life. The beautiful thing about our clay bodies is that he never lets us dry out until he’s finished with his plan for us.
“All go to the same place; all come from dust to dust all return.” Ecclesiastes 3:20
During the time in between dust to dust God continually molds our life. Sometimes he has to break us and remold us, and other times he just keeps forming us into something more beautiful. And in all of this we have a promise, that no matter how he formed us he can use us.
“But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?” Romans 9:20-21
We are his craftsmanship, created in His Image, a masterpiece in the hand of the master meant to pour out his glory.
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
So why not just trust the hands that are forming us that never make mistakes to be used for His Greater Glory to pour out the light of Christ.
