I have gone through many transitions in my life. Career, location, and family changes just to name a few. Some have been more difficult than others, but what I’ve learned through these times is that when I allow God to be in the midst of the transition, I am at peace.
The song I’ve chosen to share with you today has given words to my requests to God. When I offer my life to the Potter, He is able to make something beautiful from a slab of clay. When I remain moldable to His hands, it is amazing what He creates.
I’ve kept the lyrics to this song nearby for such reminders. Remain pliable. Remain teachable. Remain captured. Remain useable. Remain surrendered. In doing so, I’ve allowed God’s Spirit to lead and guide me into great places.
So if you are searching today, read through the words of “The Potter’s Hand.” Perhaps make these words your prayer. Then allow the gentle Hands of our Savior to create.
“The Potter’s Hand”
Beautiful Lord, wonderful Savior
I know for sure, all of my days are held in Your hands
Crafted into Your perfect plan
You gently call me, into Your presence
Guiding me by, Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life through Your eyes
I’m captured by, Your Holy calling
Set me apart
I know You’re drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray
Take me, Mold me
Use me, Fill me
I give my life to the Potter’s hands
Hold me, Guide me
Lead me, Walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter’s hand[i]
