In His hand

Jeremiah 18:1-6

Intro: I want to ask you a question, not to be answered aloud or even with a show of hands. How many of you spend time planning your future, how about your childs future? I think we all can answer me or I to that question and rightfully so. God expects to plan and be good stewards of what He has blessed us with. How many of us spend time seeking Gods plan for our lives. Does our plan line up with Gods plan, or are we spending time trying to make God see things our way. Look with me as listen to Gods word and understand how God can effect change in our lives. Notice with me.

Conc. In closing I want to share an illustration with you this morning. A pilot was having trouble bringing his plane down to land. From the control tower, he was given instructions. "But there is a pole there," he objected. The answer came back, "You take care of the instructions; we will take care of the obstructions." So with the child of God. In the Word, he or she has God's instructions. God will take care of the obstructions. It is ours to obey the instructions from God's Word.
