Hearts

Well, today is day one of our challenge. I am peaceful and thankful to have the focus on my spouse. And as I begin, I feel led to be grateful for His leading us together. Grateful for our story that has had its good times, its hard times and the memories and our gifts, or otherwise known as our children. 😉

Today we focus on our hearts. Isaiah 64:8 in the Amplified version:
8Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand.
If you don’t mind, here are some corresponding verses along with this verse to help you understand this verse:
Paul’s letter to the Romans 9:
20But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
21Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignoble and dishonorable use?
22What if God, although fully intending to show [the awfulness of] His wrath and to make known His power and authority, has tolerated with much patience the vessels (objects) of [His] anger which are ripe for destruction?
23And [what if] He thus purposes to make known and show the wealth of His glory in [dealing with] the vessels (objects) of His mercy which He has prepared beforehand for glory,
24Even including ourselves whom He has called, not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles (heathen)?
Love it! May God bless you in your first day of prayer.
