Together in Faith: The vessel the potter was making of clay was spoiled in his hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to him. Jeremiah 18:4

Jeremiah’s parable teaches how God frequently reworks us to accomplish God’s works. God reworks many of us into stewards, people who care for the needs of others. Becoming a good steward can be the work of a lifetime!
