When suffering from another’s hand, the Potter holds you in His. ~KE

Wednesday Word

Lord, speak to me through Your Word; open up the eyes of my heart and
help me hear you.
She reached for her Bible, headed for Matthew 18 to review what she had
been reading and studying…but He had other plans.
Have you ever been stopped in the midst of a thought process and taken
down a different road? Today’s blog is a great reminder that when we invite
Him into our time of reading His Word, He shows up quietly but powerfully.
(Jeremiah 18:3b-4)

“There He was, making something at the wheel. 4 And the vessel that He
made of clay was marred” …

With the words came a pictured revelation: she was the vessel…marred by
betrayal, scarred by the taunting that had persisted for three years leading
to her now ex-husband abandoning the covenant he had made 17+ years
prior. She continued to read:

“--while in His hands.”

The vision she saw brought tears of sadness and gratefulness
simultaneously. She saw Him holding her back when it started and felt Him
holding her even now.

She sat in that peaceful revelation for a few moments and as the picture
became even more clear, the long-awaited and silently-searched-for
answer popped like the most beautiful explosion of color that she had ever
seen or experienced. This divine moment dawned like an incredible
majestic sunrise and as she continued to read:

“--and so He made it again into another vessel.”

She now understood, and His whisper confirmed, that it wasn’t His will for it
to have ended the way it did;, however, {emphasis added] while it was
going on, He was holding her…oh, so close…and when others’ choices
had taken place, He set about refining her thru it, protecting her, providing
for her, and preparing her for whatever was to come next.

This whisper of understanding filled her with a never-before-experienced
kind of love that kept her and would continue to keep her in her Father’s
hand.

Friend, the truth is everything that happens to us goes through our Father’s
hand; however, only He has the power to right what was done wrong to us
if we remain in His hand, on The Potter’s wheel.
