This morning we begin worship with
But now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen! Thus says the LORD who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you: Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.
As we raise our children, we can be overcome with our responsibility and our failures. In those moments, God's command to us is not to redouble our efforts, but rather to "Fear not".
They are clay in His hands, not ours. He is the potter and we are not. The same God who formed (yāṣar) us, will pour His Spirit on them.
“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,a pot among earthen pots!Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’or ‘Your work has no handles’?
