"Go down to the shop where clay pots and jars are made. I will speak to you while you are there."
Jeremiah 18:2 NLT
In order to hear a word from God we have to meet God on His terms. God will go to extreme measures to reach one of His children, but to hear from God requires us to be in a listening position with God. The non-Christian cannot discern the will of God for their life. God communicates with His children exclusively, except to call sinners to repentance. Even in the life of a Christian sin can hinder our relationship with God and keep us from hearing Him when He chooses to speak. Our own busyness and the normal distractions of life can also keep us from hearing God.
God wanted to speak to Jeremiah and He was going to use pottery as a part of His discussion. Sometimes God will use situations in our life to gain our attention and illustrate for us His agenda. You and I, if we want to hear from God, must continually rid our lives of sin, strive to walk in obedience with Him daily, free our life of unneeded clutter, slow down long enough to listen for the voice of God, and watch for God in the midst of the normal routine and places of life.
God is not trying His voice from you or me. In fact, if we aren’t hearing, it’s most likely because we aren’t listening. This year, let’s do whatever it takes to hear the voice of God. He has great things for us to know. He sees the path before us and He wants to lead us down it within His will. Let’s listen!
