The Blessing of God’s Watchfulness

Go down

To the Potter’s house,

With Jeremiah

And watch.

Watch the Artist

Throwing the clay,

Spinning the wheel,

Shaping mud into glory.

What do you notice first

About the Potter?

“His eye is on the clay.”

The vessel has

His full attention.

The Potter never

Takes His eye off the

Creation of clay—

Never becomes distracted.

“Every single moment

You are thinking of me”

Exclaims the Psalmist. (Ps. 139:17, The Passion Translation)

He’s thinking of you,

Child of God,

In order to shape you.

I bless you to rest

In the thought

Of the Potter’s skillful eye

Fixed on you.
