This can be expressed in many ways. Some paint or sculpt, some design (objects, buildings, clothing, etc.), some build and some make music. I find this thought fascinating because God Himself works with His hands. In Genesis 2:7 we are told that God "formed man of the dust of the ground." The Hebrew word for "formed" indicates something being molded. A few months ago, my wife enrolled our twins in a pottery class in which they learn different techniques of working clay. Anson and Elysia have both enjoyed these classes very much, but I was told they wouldn't be bringing home their pieces until the end of the classes because the pieces would not be completely done until the last class. God molded the first man in the Garden of Eden and has been seeking to mold men since. Each vessel is unique, shaped by God's hand, refined and put through the fire to make it more valuable and precious. Isaiah 64:8 tells us, "But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand." How well are we letting God shape us? Can we glimpse the future beauty we will have after the firing and glazing that takes place to give us our godly touches? I can hardly imagine what God, as the Master Potter, has in store for each and every one of us. What an exciting time it will be when we all find out—when our class is done!
