GOD IN THE COURT HOUSE

If there's a God..
People say when,
Things go wrong
That they cannot comprehend
Is there a God...
People stop and ask
When things don't happen
The way they want
Can God help...
People cry and shout
Facing calamity
With no where to run
Why is God silent..
The Pundits opine
When philosophy fails
And reasoning stops

Did we really give Him a chance
Did we live by His word
Did we ask His opinion
Before destroying the world
Didn't we kick Him out
From our school curriculum
Didn't we forget the Sabbath
As we had other work..

When we killed the feotus
In the mother's womb
We never stopped to think
That He created life
We asked Him to stay put
Said we'd run the world
We asked Him to please stay out
As we knew all the cures

Why do we now question Him
As we have locked Him out
We have tried to act God
Our folly, our demise.

Preciousness of Clay to the Potter

This blog has its roots in the Good Book called the Bible.

Jeremiah was one day asked to go to the potter's house and watch what the potter was doing. Potter was doing what he was supposed to do - creating a beautiful pot on the potter's wheel. When it became marred on the wheel, the potter turned it into a different pot from what was initially intended it to be.

We are like clay. God is the Potter.

When we accept Jesus Christ as our personal saviour, we are carved out of a greater lump of clay in the world and brought to the potter's house. How very obvious! To be made into a beautiful pot, one must first be a shapless lump of clay. That lump of clay will have a great deal of dirt in itself. Cow dung, stones, roots, decaying leaves could all be a part of this lump of clay, which is supposed to be turned into a beautiful pot.

What does the potter do, when be carves out the clay and brings it into his house? He will first clean and clear it of the unnecessary. Exactly what God will do in our lives, when we believe in His son Jesus. We go through a phase of being cleansed and cleared. Then, on to the potter's wheel. This is the best place for me to be! Why - because when I am on the potter's wheel as a lump of clay, His eyes are totally focused on me and His hands surround me, fashioning me and creating a beautiful vessel out of  a shapless lump of clay.

Clay is precious to the Potter. Its good to be in the hands of this God. Try it.
