As the clay is in the hands of the potter, so we are in the hand of God

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The passage from Jeremiah 18:3-6 reminds us that God defines who we are, not the world or our circumstances. God forms us like a potter forms clay, with a specific design and purpose in mind. We are not redundant, but useful vessels of God's glory. We should ask God what he has trained us for and trust his sovereignty in shaping us. We are secure and confident in God's hands.

I want to invite you to be able to have a reflection on the word of the Lord in the book of Jeremiah, chapter 18, verses 3 to 6. A loving word from the Lord, a necessary word for us to be able to understand, to be able to remember, and to be able to have conviction of who we are before the Lord.

A few weeks or a few months ago in one of my sermons right here I told you that neither the world nor the circumstances that you have lived or that you are living define who you are. God defines who you are. So it doesn't matter if you're half broke financially right now, it doesn't matter if you can't go to the best restaurants anymore and you only go to McDonald's for that dollar. That doesn't define you. It no longer matters if for some reason he lost his Lamborghini and is now doing something else. Some are no longer doing anything else, they only walk with a bus pass. Even that doesn't define who you are. God gave you an identity, God defined who you were from the beginning because he created you in a special way.
