I recently asked our daughter-in-law Taylor—artist, teacher, and pottery person—about her motivation for working with clay. “What I really love is working the wheel,” she explained. “The pleasure is found in the process of taking a lump of clay and forming it into something. It becomes something unique. Useful. Beautiful.”
I like to think that is true of God our Potter also. He enjoys working with us. Our carnal mindset tends to be results-driven and product-oriented. What will I DO with my life? What will I produce? What will it look like? What will I become?
Certainly, these questions are valid. But they can create a lot of pressure to “perform” for others—and even for God.
I think it more comforting to see God as the God of the process. He is with us on the journey. Destination is important, but the route through which we get there is what our daily walk with God is all about.
God, our Potter, working with clay. May my pliability be pleasing to His hands!

So true! Great reminder!
So good to be reminded that He is the Potter, not us!
