OUR FATHER IS THE POTTER AND WE ARE THE CLAY

Isaiah chapter 64 verse 8 says this;

Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Through the prophet Isaiah,  the people asked the Lord to relent from His anger towards them and not to remember their sins forever.

In Isaiah chapter 64 verse 5, they recounted their own treachery towards the righteous ones of God andrex they asked, 'How then can we be saved.'

After confessing their sins and acknowledging that all their righteous acts were like filthy rags before the Lord, the people beseeched Him to remember that He was their Father and that in His hands, they were as clay in the hands of the potter and thus were the work of His hands.

In all the calamities they are facing where the sacred cities had become desolate and the holy and glorious temple had been burned down, they asked the Lord to look upon them and remember that they were His people.

Amen.
