Day 222 of Chronological Bible in One Year Devotion:
In Jeremiah 16, the Lord warned of coming judgment, showing that disobedience has consequences. Yet in Jeremiah 17, He contrasts the cursed life of trusting in man with the blessed life of trusting in the Lord—a tree rooted by living waters, unshaken by drought.
Jeremiah 18 paints a vivid picture: God is the Potter; we are the clay. When the clay is marred, He reshapes it according to His will. This reminds us that God’s discipline is not to destroy us, but to remake us into vessels of honor.
In Jeremiah 35, the obedience of the Rechabites stands out. They honored their ancestor’s command for generations, while Israel ignored God’s voice. God treasures faithfulness—both in big and small things—and it brings lasting blessing.
Our part is simple but profound: stay pliable in the Potter’s hands, trust His process, and remain faithful to His Word. Even when life feels like we’re being “pressed” or “reshaped,” it’s the Potter creating His masterpiece in us.
Prayer: Lord, I yield my heart to You, the Master Potter. Shape me according to Your will. Remove every hardness, and help me trust Your process. Teach me to walk in faithfulness like the Rechabites, that my life may bring You glory in every season. In Jesus' name, Amen.
