One Hope Project sings, ‘Good Work In Me’. Become aware now of the goodness that the Lord is doing in you; the ways in which the Lord is shaping you today…

Everything I have within

And all that is before me

Meet me in this broken place

Transform it for Your glory

I lay this life downfall into You now

A sacrifice of praise

Surrender to You, my loving Savior

I trust in Your great name

You will meet me in my hurting, Jesus

You are all I need

Your love will satisfy

I trust the plans You have for me

I will stand upon the promise

You've not forsaken me

You walk beside me in the waiting

You are doing a good work in me

(A good work in me)

Now when I'm faced with trials

I will choose your joy each morning

I trust You, though I'm terrified

So use me for Your glory

I lay this life downfall into You now

A sacrifice of praise

Surrender to You, my loving Savior

I trust in Your great name

You will meet me in my hurting, Jesus

You are all I need

Your love will satisfy

I trust the plans You have for me

I will stand upon the promise

You've not forsaken me

You walk beside me in the waiting

You are doing a good work in me

(Oh-oh oh-oh oh, a good work in me)

(Oh-oh oh-oh oh, a good work in me)

(Oh-oh oh-oh oh, a good work in me)

You are a God of transformation

Your presence carries restoration

You deserve my praise

There's power in Your name

You are a God of transformation

Your presence carries restoration

You deserve my praise

There's power in Your name

(Oh-oh oh-oh oh)

(Oh-oh oh-oh oh)

(Oh-oh oh-oh oh)

(Oh-oh oh-oh oh

You'll meet me in my hurting, Jesus

You are all I need

Your love will satisfy

I trust the plans You have for me

I will stand upon the promise

You've not forsaken me

You walk beside me in the waiting

You are doing a good work in me

Today’s reading is from the book of Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 18:1-6

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: ‘Come, go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.’ So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. The vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to him.

Then the word of the LORD came to me: Can I not do with you, O house of Israel, just as this potter has done? says the LORD. Just like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

Have you ever at moments felt that the clay you were made of was spoiled? Does an example of this come to you now? . . .

Now consider the potter, never giving up on his clay, but carefully reworking it into another vessel as seemed good to him . . . have you an example of this too? An example of God not giving up on you? . . .

Listen again and notice God’s attitude to human beings here . . .

Is there some part of you that feels the need for God’s loving touch? . . . Offer that part of yourself to God now . . .

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
