Like Potter's Clay: The Crocodile

The Crocodile

The fierce reptile lies silently beneath the surface, waiting for just the right moment to strike. Then, lunging forward with massive jaws open wide, the crocodile attacks! Animals and people alike are startled and flee for their lives!

This is a situation for the "Crazy Crocodile Hunters"!

Armed and ready, two heroes fearlessly pursue this tenacious creature.

After a grueling morning, the ferocious crocodile is finally defeated, and the townsfolk breath a sigh of relief.

It's all in a day's work for the "Crazy Crocodile Hunters".

(For those who may be curious, this scenario was completely fabricated in the minds of Seth and Hadassah. I did not put the idea into their heads, but simply recorded it for your amusement.) ;o) Hehe!

What's with the Title?

After much thought, we chose "Like Potter's Clay" because we think it describes our lives quite well. At times we have imagined the "perfect" life we think we should have, and we've been upset when things have not turned out that way. Slowly God has been teaching us and changing our hearts. (In Isaiah chapter 45, God asks,"Does the Clay say to the Potter, 'What are you making?'" He continues, "Do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?") We are learning to trust in His good plan for our lives, even when it doesn't look the way we originally thought it should. We are learning that even when we may be in a valley, or when things seem to have gone wrong, God can make good come of it and be glorified through it. ("In all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28)
We are clay in the Potter's hands. And we're beginning to like it that way.
