Jer. 18.5-6, ‘Then the word of the Lord came to me: Can I not do with you, O house of Israel, just as this potter has done? says the Lord. Just like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.’ It sounds like Jeremiah’s encounter with the potter is a sign that God (the potter) has total control of the design & purpose of Israel (the clay). However the following verses (7-10) contain lots of ‘ifs’ and ‘thens’. God will respond to the choices his people make. We make choices, each one effecting how God acts toward us.
