Clay in Your Hands

I am easily influenced. I have been realizing that it is in my power to make this a good or a bad thing. It should be a good thing- it means that I am moldable- which is good. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand..." (Jer 18:6) But, it means that I need to be super careful that I don't let other things besides my Maker mold me. I need to have my filter on at all times. I've been having some really interesting conversations at work, and I love it. And I want to know more about these things we are talking about; but I have to be careful. Because I am easily influenced. It shows me the importance of staying in the word every day. Of being surrounded by strong lovers of Christ. Of serving God's church. Of praying without ceasing. That is my foundation. That is what keeps my relationship with Him firm. That is where I want to be molded. Lord, I want to be clay in YOUR hands.
