Return of the Eagles

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: ² “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” ³ So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. ⁴ But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Jeremiah 18:1-4

We hit the bottom spiritually and misinterpret the purpose of these times in our lives. These are not to be confused with any time of sin and rebellion, but this is a time similar to one in which we could compare to Job, at least in the sense of his own confusion.

“The clay was marred.”

The potter refused to cover up the misshapen part of the pot. He formed it into something else entirely.

We may appear to others to be similar because we have the same outward appearance, the same personality, love the same fried chicken.

But if they could see deep down into our spirit-man, they would stand in wide-eyed wonder at what this one event in our lives, ordained by the Hand of God, had accomplished in such a short period of time.

People may remember your imperfections, but flesh can only relate to flesh.

Spirit relates to spirit. It is unimportant what people see in you, as long as you strive to see what God wants to show you.

That which marred you will no doubt destroy your flesh.

That which marred you, in the Hand of THIS Potter, ONLY this Potter, will also destroy your flesh, making who you were so thin that people can see right through you...
