Good Morning!
“Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will announce My words to you.” Jeremiah 18:2
“Are you sure it's okay to eat this? Do you promise?” the boy asked his mother. His allergies provoked anxiety at the sight of any new food, so
he felt compelled to ask if it was safe- again and again. Wearily the mother answered yet again, “I've already told you once. Saying it again
won't make it any more true.”
Listening to this exchange from the safety of the next room I immediately felt God's spirit saying to me, “You keep asking Me to confirm My
promises to you. But I've already spoken. Saying it again won't make it anymore true” God gives us parables like that- a conversation, a turn of
events, an everyday encounter with someone we haven't seen in a while to remind us of His ways, His words, or His purposes.
These parables reinforce what we know to be true from His Word, but they sink deeper into our hearts then in a way that words on a printed
page rarely do. Pay attention to the parables in your life. This is how God often spoke to Biblical prophets, it's how Jesus taught, and it's how
God continues to teach us from scripture today.
