Pastor Ron's Reflections

A group of 12 disciples are gathering on Sunday evenings for an Experiencing God Study. It is a very meaningful exploration of what it means to have an encounter with the living God. The foundational premise is that God is always at work around us and our calling is to discover where that is and join the Creator in that good work. In Jeremiah 18 God says to the prophet Jeremiah, “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message. So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.” Isn’t it a beautiful description of God’s work in our lives? We are often marred, misshaped by the events of our lives, and the master Potter re-shapes us in a way that seems best to Him. The molding process is often painful or unpleasant and it often feels like we’ll ‘never amount to anything’ to use a common phrase. But, as the clay, we are to be responsive to the Master’s skillful hands and trust that His working is perfect. And once we become a useful vessel, He pours into us the resources and abilities to carry out the work that we have been shaped for. Scriptures promise that “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.” So I urge you to remain moldable and in the Potter’s Hands so that your life can be an instrument of God’s blessing. We will be offering this 12 week study again in the future and I pray many of you will choose to participate in this encounter of the Living God.
