Dear Friends,
Today’s devotional reminds me of that great song “Change My Heart, O God”. It has the refrain “you are the potter, I am the clay, mold me and make me, this is what I pray”. Beautiful words from a contrite heart ready and willing to be led by the Creator. Many of you know that I swim at the Y every weekday. It’s good exercise and it gives me a chance to pray while swimming along. Some days, I seem to glide in the water, effortlessly. Other days, it’s a bit of a struggle. The important thing is that I keep swimming! God’s will and our wills can sometimes be a bit of a struggle. Determining where the push back is coming from can be tricky. Talk to God about it and listen to your heart. God won’t ever ask you to do something He can’t bless. Peace and Love, Scott

I Am The Potter; you are My clay. I designed you before the foundation of the world. I arrange the events of each day to form you into this preconceived pattern. My everlasting Love is at work in every event of your life. On some days your will and Mine flow smoothly together. You tend to feel in control of your life when our wills are in harmony. On other days you feel as if you are swimming upstream, against the current of My purposes. When that happens, stop and seek My Face. The opposition you feel may be from Me, or it may be from the evil one.
Daily Devotional from “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Talk with Me about what you are experiencing. Let My Spirit guide you through treacherous waters. As you move through the turbulent stream with Me, let circumstances mold you into the one I desire you to be. Say yes to your Potter as you go through this day.
Isaiah 64:8 Yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Psalm 27:8
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, Lord I will seek.Daily Devotional from “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
