~ Jeremiah 18:2-6 (NIRV), " "Go down to the potter's house. I will give you my message there." So I went down to the potter's house. I saw him working at his wheel. His hands were shaping a pot out of clay. But he saw that something was wrong with it. So he formed it into another pot. He shaped it in the way that seemed best to him. Then the LORD's message came to me. He said, "People of Israel, I can do with you just as this potter does," announces the Lord. "The clay is in the potter's hand. And you are in my hand, people of Israel."
...Sometimes we have things all planned out. We want things to go a certain way. And, then when they don't we get all frustrated or maybe even feel like "throwing in the towel" or just walking away from it. But, if we could just allow Him to be the potter of our lives...Letting Him take the marred clay and remold it into a useful vessel...what a blessing we could be to others. Life isn't always fair...things aren't always gonna go your way. But, when you trust in JESUS, it's okay. Because He always has something so much better for you. His ways and thoughts are higher that yours. So, let Him mold you and make you into a vessel full of Him workmanship and power.

HAVE THINE OWN WAY, LORD
1. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
2. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Savior today!
Wash me just now Lord, wash me just now,
as in thy presence humbly I bow.
3. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me I pray!
Power, all power, surely is thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine!
4. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway.
Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me!
