TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | JEREMIAH 17-21

Let Jehovah Mold Your Thinking and Conduct

A potter molds a clay vessel

Respond favorably to Jehovah’s molding

18:1-11

  • Jehovah shapes our spiritual qualities through counsel or discipline

  • We need to be malleable and obedient

  • Jehovah never forces us to do things against our will

A potter may change his mind about what to do with a vessel

  • Because Jehovah has given us free will, we can choose either to accept his molding or to reject it

  • Jehovah adjusts his dealings with people according to the way they respond to his direction

    As an example of being molded by the Great Potter, a Christian brother walks away from two elders but later returns to talk with them

In what ways do I need Jehovah to mold me?
