But now, O Lord, thou art our father: We are the clay, and thou our potter, and we all are the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8.
Being only thy clay, O Almighty Potter, as I must not, and will not resist thy workings by any means, I assuredly believe that thou wilt prepare and perfect me for a meet vessel of grace, in spite of a thousand hindrances. No work of thine comes ever short of its intended perfection: for who can stay thy hand? It is thy own saying; I will work, and who shall let it? Isaiah 43:13.
An artist delights in his own workmanship, and would not leave one single flaw or defect in it designedly. Philippians 1:6. Oh! then look upon me too, thou wise Creator; see how flesh and blood disorder my poor soul and deliver me from all that may endanger my spiritual life. Knowing thou canst do no less than an human artist, who is ever ready and exerts his skill to mend and perfect his work; I trust that thou wilt not always suffer these impediments to hinder and disgrace thy work. Nay, such is thy wisdom and power, that out of darkness thou canst bring light, out of sickness health; and though I am now destitute of strength and life; yet I believe thy work will be finished at last, and glorify the name of its maker. 1 Peter 5:10.
