Yielding To The Will of God

Yielding To The Will of God, Jeremiah 18:1-6

Pastor Donald Manning, Thomas Chapel BC, Gould, AR

They still yielded to the will of God although they didn't understand. You can work all day long or solely live on faith, we only stay stagnant. By using both faith and works, we get places. We do belong to the Lord. When you yield to temptation, sin gets put into motion; temptation itself is not a sin since we haven't acted upon it.

We get part of the way through our journey and stop not because of tiredness, but from a lack of faith. Keep moving!

On the way to the Potter's house...Jeremiah is told to bounce to the potter's house and tell the people what they need to hear per God. He wasn't equipped to fly solo (John 15:5). Clay isn't worth much - just a heaping of mud, which is dirt in all actuality. The potter was making shapes to profit from, and those which are insufficient are remolded into something else. Transformation isn't an easy deal, as God through Jeremiah speaks. We have to be changed over by renewing of mind and spirit; be more mindful of God than what you used to be. You're being looked at on potential, not what you're trying to become on your own.

V. 5, 6: Then the Lord told me to tell you, People of Israel, I, the Lord, have power over you,  just as a potter has power over clay.

Isn't that awesome?
