The Potter and His clay
"Woe to him who strives with his Maker!
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
Shall the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?'
Or shall your handiwork say, 'He has no hands'?
Isaiah 45:9
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
"Arise and go down to the potter's house,
and there I will cause you to hear My words."
and there I will cause you to hear My words."
Then I went down to the potter's house,
and there he was, making something at the wheel.
And the vessel that he made of clay
was marred in the hand of the potter;
and there he was, making something at the wheel.
And the vessel that he made of clay
was marred in the hand of the potter;
so he made it again into another vessel,
as it seemed good to the potter to make.
as it seemed good to the potter to make.
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
"O house of Israel,
can I not do with you as this potter?" says the Lord.
can I not do with you as this potter?" says the Lord.
"Look, as the clay is in the potter's hand,
so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!
so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!
Jeremiah 18:1-6
As the lump of clay in the potter's hand, so are we in the hand of our Creator.
The lump of clay needs to be pliable in the potter's hand.
We need to be yielded in the hand of GOD.
The more knowledge we have about our bodies and the more understanding we gain of the workings of the systems physically and emotionally, greater our conviction with which we say to GOD:
"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. "
Psalm 139:13-16
There is an enemy of your Creator who is very active, having come down in his fierce wrath.
That is the devil, the serpent of old who deceived Eve, who is Satan.
He whispers lies into your ears, making you doubt your very identity.
He wants to cause you to rise against your Creator like the lump of clay.
Rather than being thankful for His marvelous handiwork, you start questioning GOD.
"Why have you made me thus?" "Who am I?" "What am I?"
"Am I a male?" "Am I a female?" "Am I something in between?"
Ask these questions from your Creator with an attitude of humility.
Take time to connect with Him quietly in solitude.
If you seek Him with a sincere heart you will find Him.
The wisdom of man is foolishness in the eyes of GOD.
It is twisted, and far from the truth.
Do not listen or give heed to what the world says about you.
Be diligent to give ear to what the One Who made you says.
Isn't that the right thing to do?
He made you specifically 'you' with a specific purpose and plan.
There is no confusion with Him.
You are either a male or you are a female and there is no other gender.
Every confusion about your gender and every kind of gender suggested by man, only reveals the lack of knowledge, deception, foolishness and confusion in the mind of man.
If you connect direct with your Creator, you will know the simple truth.
The Bible is your Manufacturer's manual or handbook.
Refer to it and study it with an open mind and humility so that you might know the truth about yourself.
As you obey the teachings of His word, you will find purpose and fulfilment in this life.
You will also prepare yourself for life after death that is eternal!
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
