Genesis 2 Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man became a living creature.
Jeremiah 18 Arise and go down to the potter's house and there I will let you hear My words. So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hands, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.
Revelation 7 These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will shelter them with His presence. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Suppose...The life you have now is not the life that was intended for you.
Just as in the beginning God, the potter, created man and placed him in a perfect garden, He created you in your mother's womb. And just as the first family was corrupted by sin, so were we all.
Has you been hurt by sin? By what your parent's did? Or strangers? Or life? Was sin introduced into your life?
Then come to the Potter's House and hear the words of the Lord. Even though your vessel may seem spoiled, He is able to rework you.
I have been thinking this morning about all the dynamics in my own family. Sin that caused the suffering of my children, myself and all those that I love. I believe that God had chosen a very different pathway for our lives when He fashioned us in our mother's womb. But just like Adam, sin was introduced into our garden as well. Sometimes by our choices. Sometimes by force. Sometimes by ignorance, laziness, selfishness or worldliness. But sin. Nonetheless.
God, in his infinite mercy chose to rework us rather than to toss us aside. He is choosing to rework me. It seemed good to Him to do so. I may not have been the person that He created me to be at the beginning but He redeemed me and reworked me into a different vessel. One that He could use.
Come to the One who formed you and let Him rework you. This life won't last forever. The pain you feel won't last forever. There is coming a day when all things will be made right. When there will be no more sin or no one to introduce it.
He who sits on the throne will shelter them with His presence. They will hunger no more....thirst no more....He will guide them to the springs of living water....God will wipe every tear from their eyes.
