God has issued a dire warning!

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying, “Go down to the pot-maker’s house, and there I will let you hear My words.” So I went down to the pot-maker’s house, and saw him making one on the wheel. But the pot he was making of clay did not come out like he wanted it. So the pot-maker used the clay to make another pot that pleased him. Then the Word of the Lord came to me saying, “O people of Israel, can I not do with you as this pot-maker has done?” says the Lord.” Jeremiah 18:1-6

The Spirit of God spoke to me this morning about the clay pot in this story in Jeremiah. Like the pot-maker, God has created a nation of people that did not turn out right.

Imagine God holding you like clay in His hand. He can build or destroy. He has made up His mind to destroy because His people have turned away from Him. They prefer to worship other gods and idols.

God has created a nation of His people and has promised to bring His goodness upon them. However, the eyes of God have looked down and judged our actions. We have refused to obey the voice of God. We are a stiff necked nation who do not fear God. We are unacceptable to God!

God has changed His mind and has decided to remove His favor. He plans to create trouble for this nation and widespread suffering.

This is a warning from God to repent and return to Him before it is too late. You can’t control the will of God but you can get right with God. Return to God and make Him the priority in your life. Seek God through prayer, His Word, and be obedient to His voice.

Do you really want the pot-maker to discard your pot? You are in His hand just like the clay. Are you willing to let God mold you into a special treasure to Him?
