"Broken Vessels in the Potter’s Hands"
Ron Bontrager
God sent Jeremiah to watch a potter at work (ch. 18), remaking the vessel until it pleased him. God wanted Jeremiah to know that He is a potter, and He wants His people to please Him. Unfortunately, most in Jeremiah’s day didn’t want to please God and were destroyed. After the Babylonians final attack on the city (ch. 39), Jeremiah wrote Lamentations, a book filled with intense sorrow, but it also included praise to God. God’s people today need to praise Him even in the worst of times.
