Thoughts: The Lord told Jeremiah to go to the potter’s house, and Jeremiah went.
It would be understandable if Jeremiah had asked questions. Which potter? What’s his address? Shall I tell him the Lord sent me? What am I supposed to see? What do you want me to do? What’s the purpose of all this, anyway? Usually, Jeremiah had a great deal to say. His book has 52 chapters – the third longest book in the Bible – and he followed this with five chapters of aptly named Lamentations, which ends with one of the saddest verses in the Bible: “…thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.” Jeremiah went to the potter’s house – and listened to God. Discussion: When have you felt there was clay you could reshape? Activity: “Do all the good you can….” And try saying less. ___________________________________________________________________ Remember in prayer this week Audrey Cowsert, Bob & Vivian Grusnick, Vivian Hansard, Martha Meyer and Thelma Welbaum.
