Listen to Nick read the Firestarter and Jeremiah 20:7-9.
Two objects are set before you today, a pot and a flask. As you reflect upon these broken articles, become them. In what way are you broken? What would God have to do to you to remake you more fully into God’s image? Is there a spirit of rebellion in you as there was for the people in Jeremiah’s time?
This is a sad and tragic period for God’s people. The energies of their lives burn before the altars of false gods. Jeremiah’s anger and outrage find full expression in the lament that begins with 18:19. Gratefully, God does not take vengeance as fully as Jeremiah would have liked.
What does the Lord tell you about yourself as you read these vibrant images? Feel the Lord’s own hurt, indignation and grief over God’s people. Become one, not only with the pot, but also with the potter. Let God break you and remake you.
