God had a plan for every person since the beginning of time, which involves shaping them with His hand. According to this plan, God is the potter and we are the clay. We are all lumps of human clay, waiting for a touch from the Master Potter, who is God.
When a potter sits at the wheel, they already have a clear idea of the shape they want their clay to take. Similarly, God wants us, the clay, to become more like his Son Jesus.
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
Ephesians 1:4 Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.
In order to be used by Him, it’s imperative that we submit ourselves to God, resist the devil and purify our hearts. Let’s not give in to temptation and instead, strive to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
Each one of us has a unique purpose that God has designed for us. His divine plan shapes us into the person we are meant to be, with the aim of doing His work for the kingdom.
Romans 14:7 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
“Our bodies are no longer ours to claim, as we have been purchased by God. By surrendering ourselves to His will, we are granted eternal life and infinite blessings. Let us embrace His grace and relinquish our earthly desires, for they pale in comparison to the divine purpose that awaits us.”
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
