"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;"  Ecclesiastes 12:1

We all need to pause occasionally to fully and completely recognize that we were made by God.  This is what Solomon reminds us of in Ecclesiastes.  David also captures this reality in Psalm 139:13-16.  Every part of the fabric of your personhood was carefully knit together by God's creative hands.  There was no part of who we are that was hidden from Him.  There were no accidents, no glitches, no thoughtless moments.  Just like David, we were also "fearfully and wonderfully" made. 

The color of your eyes, the shape of your body, your intellectual and physical gifts, your hair, your voice, your personality, the color of your skin, the size of your feet - everything!  All of your hardwiring is the result of God's glorious creative ability.  And for this, let us worship God, our Creator and remember that we exist through Him.  As creator, He alone is the giver of life.  True life cannot be found outside Him - the One who is our Creator and our Sustainer, our constant life source and incessant provider of everything we need.

"Then the word of the Lord came to me, 'Oh, house of Israel cannot I do with you as this potter has done?' declares the Lord.  'Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O, house of Israel.'"  Jeremiah 18:6

This imagery of the potter and clay is well known in the Bible.  It is a reminder to us today of what it means to trust in God and what it means to walk with God.  It means to humble ourselves as clay in the hand of a potter.  God, our creator who formed and fashioned us in the first place, who desires to continually form and fashion you and me according to His wisdom for the accomplishment of His good will in our lives.  For us to arise every morning and say, "Here I am, God.  I am clay.  You are the potter.  Mold me.  Make me.  Do whatever you desire to do in my life, through my life, for the accomplishment of your purposes in my life.  I totally trust in you."

Do you totally trust the Lord?  You can.  Maybe you need to pray:  "God, please help us to be malleable and moldable, humble and contrite in your hands, willing to be formd however you desire according to your word and your spirit for your glory.  God, we want to be clay that brings honor to you.  We want to be exactly who you are creating us to be."
