Today's Reading is Jeremiah 19, Psalms 78.65-72
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Jeremiah 19 Psalms 78
Jeremiah 19
There were object lessons to be learnt at the potter's house (Jeremiah 18-20.18). In Jeremiah 18, the clay was moist and pliable, and therefore it could be easily molded by the potter. In Jeremiah 19, the clay was hard and if unusable by the owner could be destroyed. Jeremiah was told to go and buy a clay jar from the potter. He was then to give a sermon and then break the pot.
Application:
What about us are we like the clay which is soft and pliable that the Potter (the Holy Spirit) could mold us or are we hard like the people of Jerusalem who were facing judgement.
Verses to meditate on:
10 "Then break the jar while those who go with you are watching, 11 and say to them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty says: I will smash this nation and this city just as this potter's jar is smashed and cannot be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room. 12 This is what I will do to this place and to those who live here, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.
Check out these words from a well-known hymn:
382. Have Thine Own Way, Lord
Text: Adelaide A. Pollard, 1862-1934
Music: George C. Stebbins, 1846-1945
Tune: ADELAIDE, Meter: 54.54 D

1. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after thy will,
while I am waiting, yielded and still.
2. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Savior today!
Wash me just now, Lord, wash me just now,
as in thy presence humbly I bow.
3. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me I pray!
Power, all power, surely is thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine!
4. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Hold o'er my being absolute sway.
Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me!

Jeremiah 19 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 78, with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 78:65-72
It is good to see some positive points in this psalm, namely God is victorious over His enemies, He acted in His own wisdom and chose for Himself the tribe of Judah over Joseph and Ephraim,. The second point is He chose David who was a shepherd boy to be the shepherd of His people. It should be comforting for us to know that God is in contol of the world, our churches, families and lives.
