The Divine and All-Wise Potter

By H. A. St. John

H. A. ST. JOHN
EVERY Christian should ever, under all circumstances and in all places, regard himself as a lump of living clay in the hands of the divine Potter. See Jer. 18:6.
If there is a continual manifestation of self-will, insubordination, impatience, murmuring, doubting, complaining, and such like, there will be a continual hindering and marring of the divine Potter’s work; and those manifestations may become so persistent and continuous that the lump will be cast aside as incorrigible, and that soul be spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, lost forever. Very many will meet this sad fate.
Our only safety is to consecrate soul, body, and spirit, without reserve, to the Lord. The divine Potter can then mold and fashion us after the divine image, into vessels of honor. Then we shall not be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of the mind. And then he can prove to the world, in and through us, what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God, and bring us to shine forever in his kingdom of immortal glory.
Sanitarium, Cal.
