My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Kenneth Petersen …  USE THIS LINK    … wrote about Adelaide Pollard, a humble missionary to Africa, whom we know little about, except that she wrote a hymn entitled “Have Thine Own Way, Lord,” which is still sung my singers like Jim Reeves; and is linked for my readers above, declaring that we Christians are the clay in the hands of God, … our Potter, … Who shapes us for His work and His glory.

And that’s how I see myself, ever since I turned my life over to be shaped by The Lord over 40 years ago as the clay in His hands (see photo) as the Scriptures above describe and declare.  How about you?  Is that how you see yourself?  

My Thanksgiving:… Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for shaping my life as the clay on Your Potter’s wheel.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for shaping us for Your glory.  … Amen
