Does the Bible ever direct a message to an entire nation? Absolutely, Jeremiah 18:1-8 is the prime example. God refers to Himself as the “potter” shaping the clay at the potter’s wheel. The clay is not only any life; it’s any nation like ours! Claiming to be the potter, God is claiming authority and power over that which is being formed or reformed. It’s a great passage for July 4, 2019!
