The Potter Is At The Wheel

Our tendency is to believe that the way things are is the way they will always be. Whether it is financial stress, relational problems, physical infirmities, or spiritual barrenness, in the moment of our struggles, we often feel like it will always be this way.

Jeremiah said in verse 3: “So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel.” Obviously, the Potter in this story symbolizes God. And Jeremiah drives home an important truth that we often fail to remember...God is still at the wheel of your life. You may not feel that is true. It may not even appear to be true. Often we feel like a lump of clay spinning hopelessly out of control. But that is the farthest thing from the truth. Jeremiah encourages us, God is "working at the wheel". He is shaping, molding, and making you into your fullest potential.
