My sister is a potter. She has gifted me over the years with plates, bowls, mugs, pitchers, and a teapot. I love displaying her beautiful work and using them in my daily life. I am in awe that she can turn a wheel, shape an object, pour some glaze on it, apply extreme heat, and out comes a work of art as well as functionality. I can understand why Isaiah used a potter to describe God’s relationship with his people and with us.
