As we travel through life, we hit potholes and rough patches that impact what holds us together. Disappointments, betrayals, tragedies, and loss can throw us out of spiritual alignment. We stop trusting, stop believing, stop praying, and drift away from God. But just as a car needs realignment to drive straight, we need to realign our lives with God’s purpose and plan. Jeremiah 18 shows us how. The nation of Israel was broken politically, socially, and spiritually, and God sent Jeremiah to the potter’s house to teach him (and us) that what’s broken doesn’t have to stay broken. Everything that’s not working doesn’t have to remain a mess. God is the potter, and we are the clay. Through this image, God teaches us how He realigns and restores our lives.
