The Master Potter’s Handiwork
As we navigate the complexities of life, it’s essential to recognize the gentle yet firm hands of our Heavenly Potter at work. Just as a skilled potter shapes and molds a lump of clay into a vessel of varying capacities, God is constantly reshaping and stretching us to increase our ability to receive more of His abundant life.
A Vessel of Honor
The Psalmist reminds us, “For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9). This promise is not just a comforting phrase; it’s a declaration of God’s intention to fill us with His goodness, love, and strength. As we yield to His masterful hands, we become vessels of honor, capable of containing more of His divine presence.
Capacity for More
The Potter’s skillful hands don’t just stop at creating a functional vessel; He desires to enlarge our capacity to receive more of His fullness. This means that every experience, every trial, and every act of obedience becomes an opportunity for growth, allowing us to hold more of His life, love, strength, power, and grace.
Endless Capacity
As Gelasian so eloquently put it, “The souls which thirst for His promises may evermore be filled from His abundance.” E.B. Pusey adds, “Not a prayer, not an act of faithfulness… but it enlarges the whole soul for the endless capacity of the love of God.” Every moment, every decision, and every step of faith increases our capacity to receive more of God’s boundless love.
Yielding to the Potter
As we surrender to the Master Potter’s hands, we become aware of His gentle yet firm touch, shaping and stretching us to become vessels of honor, capable of containing more of His divine presence. Will you yield to His skilled hands today, allowing Him to increase your capacity to receive more of His fullness?
