I have always been fascinated with a potter's wheel and a potter forming a vase, bowl, or cup out of a lump of clay. Every time I would watch a potter make something I would think of the passage in the Bible "He is the Potter I am the clay." The biggest lesson I have learned since moving away from my family is that I am a simple piece of clay in the Lord's hands. No matter what comes my way God allows it to make me and mold me to be more like Him. During those hard times and even the easy times I need to trust in Him (which is something I am still constantly learning to do).
I found a song years ago while at BJU that really touched my heart--which is so true to a Christian's life. The words to this song is a prayer of mine.
"Though He Slay Me"
By: Linda Moldrem
As God molds the clay for a vessel
It may be a task full of pain;
But knowing the heart of a Potter
A vessel of love He will frame.
Each thread of my life He weaves a pattern
The Lord has laid out in advance;
A fabric that's fashioned with beauty,
The Master leaves nothing to chance.
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him;
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him;
I lay my heart on His alter,
And rest in His infinite care
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.
