What's your excitement level when it comes to praising & acknowledging God?

God's word declares that he has plans for us to prosper if we lean not to our own understanding. In troubling or growth situations, we try to take control and leave God out. Trust and believe that his ways will always remain higher than ours. Grab hold of the lesson from Jeremiah 18 in becoming moldable for God's use.

Moldable - Willing to be used however God wants to by giving him your all.

Flexible - Bending a little bit to be used by God while maintaining control of your will.

9:35 - Don't be willing to be changed in your current position but not willing to have the position changed completely. We can't become too picky in how we want God to bless our life. Have a discerning spirit to hear & follow God's voice when he is directing you to a different yet fruitful path in your life.

14:14 - Jeremiah 18:1-6 summarizes when clay is in the potters hand, it can be reworked into a new creation that seems great in the potters eyes. God is asking you to be humble so he can mold your life for your purpose in his will. When we put our full trust in God as the potter, he will rework us into a new vessel bringing forth new life unto you.

Principles:

1. Responsive vs Resistant: The clay has to be molded. It has to be responsive to the potter so he can make it into an instrument of his choosing. Respond to God's shaping over family or friends outlook on your life.

2. Effective vs productive: The clay has to remain in the potter's hand. When the potter has finished making the instrument of choosing, it doesn't have the ability to do what it wants. It has to remain in the potter's hand to be effective.

3. In order to fulfill God's purpose for your life, you must be moldable and remain in his hand.
