Today God says:
"I am the Potter, you are the clay".
He promises me:
"But now, O Lord, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter: and we all are the work of your hands". (Isa. 64:8)
My response to the word:
God is my Father, and He is the Potter who is shaping my life. He is changing me from glory to glory. He is conforming me to the image of His Son, my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He is not finished with me. My loving heavenly Father is at work in my life. He will continue His workmanship as long as I live.
My prayer:
Heavenly Father, you are the Potter; I am the clay. Have your own way in my life throughout this day. Mould me, shape me, use me, I pray. Thank you, Lord, for your continual workmanship in my life.
Today's scriptures:
"He already knew His people and had already appointed them to have the same form as the image of His Son". (Rom. 8:29 GW) "Not all of us will die, but we will all be changed. It will happen in an instant, in a split second at the sound of the last trumpet. Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will come back to life. They will be changed so that they can live forever". (1 Cor. 15:51,52 GW) "As all of us reflect the Lord's glory with faces that are not covered with veils, we are being changed into His image with ever-increasing glory". (2 Cor. 3:18 GW)
Quote for today:
We are always in the forge, or on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things. (Henry Ward Beecher)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".

On 27th March 1816, George J. Elvey was born at Canterbury, England. At 19 he became the organist and master of the boys at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, the home church of the royal family, devoting the next 47 years of his life to that one work. He composed the music to which we sing "Crown Him With Many Crowns," "God So Loved the World" and "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come."
On 27th March 1842, George Matheson, was born in Glasgow. Blind from 18 years, with the aid of his two devoted sisters, George not only completed his education, but pastored from 1866 to 1899, memorizing much Scripture, and became one of the outstanding Presbyterian ministers of his day.
