Jeremiah
"As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand"
Text: Jeremiah 18:5
A SIGNIFICANT WORD FROM GOD
An important word from the Lord came to Jeremiah. He was to communicate this significant word from the Lord to the children of Israel.
“Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
‘O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?’ says the LORD.
‘Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand,
so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!
The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom,
to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it,
if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil,
I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it.
And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom,
to build and to plant it,
if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice,
then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.'”
Jeremiah 18:5-10
