A Decision To Know Him

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.  Isaiah 64:8

The Potter and the clay, where have we heard that before? Some days in searching the Bible for inspiration, I find a verse that shows where a common church saying comes from that I had not before taken the time to look up. For a metaphor so useful in our Christian training, it also is found in more than one place in the Word. Jeremiah 18 and Romans 9 also use this same example of Creator and created to show a part of our relationship to God. Then comes the big decision: do we deny this as the world does and talk the various theories, since none of us are quite so old as to have seen the big bang, or do we believe by faith since as God asked Job, Where were you during the Creation? (My paraphrase.) Always there is space left for unbelief for those who will choose the easy and common way, and there is good help for those of us who will believe in the work of the Almighty Creator of the heavens and the Earth. It is our privilege to decide to know Him, the Creator, our God and Father, by the love He has shown in His Son Jesus. 

Have a wonderful day in Him who is called Wonderful!
