This right here is a 10-pound bar of stainless steel. On its own, not much to look at. Just a block of metal worth around 40 bucks.
But hold on…
Turn it into horseshoes? Now it’s worth $400.
Make it into surgical needles? You’re talking $40,000.
Shape it into tiny watch parts, springs, gears, little things most people never even notice and it jumps past $400,000.
And if you use that same steel to make high-tech computer parts? It could be worth millions.
So what changed? Not the steel. Same exact material.
What changed was how it was shaped… and who shaped it.
Isaiah 64:8 says, “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.”
You might sometimes feel like you’re just a chunk of nothing special, but in God’s hands, there’s no telling what He can make out of your life. Your talents, your struggles, your background—He can use it all.
You can sit still and try to shape yourself… or you can let the Potter get to work.
