In His Hands: 21 Daily Devotions from the Potter's Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277079324)

If you were God, how would you choose to talk to your chosen people? Would you not choose a very dramatic way to get your message across? God could have given Jeremiah the message he was to deliver to the people of Israel through a dream or vision, or miraculously written on tablets, or even through a burning bush. Instead, God chose to send Jeremiah to a local potter's house. God spoke His life-changing message through society's lowliest of professions. There is no person God does not value!

In those days, being a potter was a subservient job. It didn't need education, just a skill passed down from generation to generation. Potters were strong and fit as they dug clay from the ground and carried it to their workshops. They cut trees and hauled logs to fuel their kilns. They used kick wheels to spin the clay into useful vessels before they ever received meager payment for their wares. One can only imagine how dirty and messy a potter and his house would have been.

Join Jeremiah on his prophetic trip to the potter's house. As you go through this three-week devotional journey, witness what Jeremiah may have seen through the eyes of the potter. See how every minor detail of throwing a clay pot on the potter's wheel can mirror how God wants to shape and form our lives to have a major impact on how we see ourselves through God's eyes. Hear the personal message He has for you, and discover how God can make a masterpiece out of mud!
