Good Morning Moldable Vessels of the Potter! Oh please Lord may that be me and us as You shape us and lead us to Your new things and better ways. Thanks! Come! Have Your way with me/us. Lead us closer to our created potential and your purposes for such a time as this. Help us to turn off the noise, tune into You, die to self, take up cross and follow Jesus well. May our lives and choices glorify you and produce much good fruit. Cleanse us of all sin and unrighteousness and prepare us as Your purified Bride and unite us with you, each other and in Your plans for us. Make us willing and available! Thanks Lord! Come! You are the Potter and we are the clay. May we remain pliable in Your loving hands. Amen!

God's in the process of changing us from one way to another; from glory to glory. Well, if we allow Him to and co-operate with His Spirit, He will mold and shape us and move us closer to His image and more able to complete our custom made created purposes. Amen! Right? Come Lord! Change me can be our heart cry. He is always willing to answer that prayer! I think of the shirt I have from the Chosen quoting Mary Magdalene as she explains what happened to her when Jesus delivered her from the demons. She say, "All I know is I was one way and now another and the thing that happened in between was Him [Jesus]" I think we can all say that and have a story to share of the many blessings of our Potter. May we keep moving to each new way and thing he has for us each day. We are on a journey to His future for us. Amen!

TWFYT has been working through several days about our willingness to change. (see today's below). Then praise and prepare through the song below it. God is in the process of making all things new. Change is constant in the Kingdom. The question we need to answer is, am I willing to change with God's plans? He wants to lead you and us from what was to what is to what will be. Are you available for that? Willing? He wants to stretch us out of our comfort zones and familiar safe ways to His new things. For that to happen and be an act of worship, we need to hold loosely to what is and allow our feet to move with the Holy Spirit. As we do, next thing you know, we'll be dancing with joy as God has His way with us, uses us and we have stories to share of His faithfulness through change. There's a place for traditions but they shouldn't bind us up and hold us back from following Jesus to the new things He has planned and the new ways to connect to new generations and future believers.

Just think about all the preconceived notions of God's plans for Israel and just what the Messiah would do during this week. The Pharisees didn't want to release control nor were they open to the new things God had for His people and they killed Jesus. The disciples and many of Jesus' followers expected a conquering King not a foot washing humble servant riding on a donkey. Judas, refusing to let go of his plans for the Messiah, sold Jesus out for a few coins. And all who hoped that deliverance had finally come, had all their hopes dashed on Golgotha. BUT GOD! He had different, new plans for a different kind of deliverance. Many of us can be like any of these, BUT GOD! He is up to something new--always! And wanting us to follow, embrace and join Him. Hold loosely, my friends, and watch what God is up to and allow Him, even invite Him to, come. mold, shape and send you to Hs perfect new plans for His people. If some were not willing to do that, we wouldn't be here today. What are God's new plans for you and His Church and people? Are you a follower of THE Way? I pray we all are because God has some amazing things for us to discover and step into as we let go and leave behind the comfortable, obsolete and old ways for His better plans. Amen! May that be us Lord! Give us a story to share of Your faithfulness and good plans as we follow You surrendered, molded and ready for what's next. Amen! I'm praying for you our our Body to become a dynamic movement of God and that takes movement! The Bishop has challenged us like He challenged the people through Joshua to break camp and follow to the Promised Land! Come! Prepare us! Move us!  Lead us Lord! Amen! How well do you know God and His plans? How willing are you? Let's start there as we seek first His Kingdom and ways! I'm praying for us and for you! Let's roll baby!
