The Israelites were bent on doing what they wanted to do with their lives instead of following God's plans for their lives (Jeremiah 18:12). Israel had seemingly forgot that God was the potter and that they were the clay. God had given Israel time to repent (18:5-10). However, because Israel would not repent, God announces judgment to come (18:16-17). Jeremiah 19 is yet another example of God being the Potter and Israel being the clay. We are no different than the Israelites. God has given mankind time to repent before the day of Judgment comes. Man tends to forget that God is the Potter and that man is the clay and that no matter what man chooses in this life, God is still in control. Take time to acknowledge today that God is in control despite the choices that you make.
2 Timothy 3:1-9 and 2 Timothy 3:10-17 represent two seperate idealogies. The godless are many in our day (3:1-9), yet the godly man or woman is hard to find (3:10-17). As you read through these two passages, do the characteristics of the first or second passage identify more to your life? What changes can you make to become more like a man or woman of God?
