Praise His Name: POTTER
\nWe are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.<\/em> Isaiah 64:8 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\nA Potter is in control of the clay. In the Potter’s hands the clay can be molded and made into whatever the Potter desires.
\nEveryday our Potter is molding and making us into a useful vessel that will bring Him glory.
\nSo, today let’s pause to praise our Potter for what He is creating us to be for Him.
\n” For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”\u00a0<\/em> Ephesians 2:10 NKJV<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Pause:
\nDear God, I pause to praise You, my Potter. I am so glad in am in Your hands.
\nI am so glad You are molding and making me into a vessel that can be used by You to bring You glory. May all I say and do reflect You.
\nAnd may I and all of Your other vessels pause to praise you daily that we are the work of Your hands, created in Your image, filled with Your Spirit, going forth each day bringing Your presence into the world we live in!<\/p>\n
