Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
Jeremiah 18:5-10 

God as potter, people as clay, that invites reflection on divine sovereignty, human responsibility, and the possibility of change.

Where in my life do I feel resistant to being reshaped?

What specific habits or structures in my family, church, or community need repentance and repair?

How does the image of God as potter change the way I pray about national or communal problems?

When have I seen a change of course after repentance, personally or publicly?

Father God, You, hold us in Your hands and call us to life. Give us humility to be formed, courage to turn from what harms, and wisdom to do the good You intend. Shape us into people who reflect Your mercy and justice. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
