malleability

I'm not really sure if that is a word, but for today it is. Today, we are looking at the fact that no matter where we are in life, no matter how close or distant God seems right now it is important that we take on the features of clay.
In the book of Jeremiah we read this, " Then the word of the Lord came to me: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the Lord. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
We are clay in the hands of God. Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." This and the verses in Jeremiah 18 that I shared above go hand in hand. Being all that God has called you to be is a process. It is a lifetime process that has no true arrival point. There is no truly finished product until our souls are delivered to the gates of Heaven and we hear "Well done good and faithful servant." Until we hear those words we are to be and remain malleable.
Malleable reminds me of playdoh and my little ones love the stuff. P.J. will sit for hours(yes she is capable for sitting for more than a few seconds) and play with Playdoh. She will make shapes and snakes, and balls and all types of things with it. Playdoh is only good as long as you keep it fresh and in a container or bag of some sort. If you leave it out for too long it will get hard and just become brittle. It's the same way with us as God's servants, it is our job to remain malleable and completely fresh in His word, and in His teachings so that He can continue to mold us and make us into what He is calling us to be.
If we stay attentive to His word, and spend time with other believers who are doing the same we will see that we are being molded and changed on a daily basis. The person I am in God is completely different from the person you saw in me a month, a year and certainly 5 years ago. I have allowed God to mold me, re-shape me when needed adn continue to develop me into His creation throughout.
So stay malleable, allow God to shape you in your daily walk through reading His word and spending time truly seeking Him in prayer. You'll find that He is right there and very hands on.
Have a great day and thanks for reading.
