In His Hands

 

The Potter and His Clay
(sculpture by Ben Glassco, 2005)




"Yet You, LORD, are our Father.
We are the clay, You are the potter;
we are the work of Your hand."
(Isaiah 64:8)

I love this sculpture our Ben created when he was a student at Tusculum University, a private Presbyterian university — Tennessee's first university and the 28th-oldest operating college in the United States. 

When I first saw his work, I asked, "Ben, how did you come up with the idea?"

He said, "From the scripture you sent me, Mama."

(I had sent him Isaiah 64:8)

Did you notice "man" is bowed down in the hand of his Creator? Are you, beloved?

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you." (1 Peter 5:6)
