At we study today's Lesson, we are but s fsw hours away from a brand New Year, If la. "therefore, fitting that we resolve to face the future with none of the fears of the past, " confident in the power and purpose of the Lord, determined : to fully accept Hla will for our lives. s y - , ; Jeremiah, appointed Prophet, zealous believer, ardent; preacher, faced an arduous and thankless task In making the,, people aware of the consequences of their ainnlng Uvea. Indeed, it was In a moment of complete discouragement of, Jeremiah's part that God stepped in and bade him go to the potter's shop. Jeremiah did so-and observed, in the actions . of a simple craftsman, a working recipe for living that waa more eloquent than wordal The object on which he waa working failed to coma up to the expectations of the potter, ao, with infinite patience, he undid his previous labors and started over, with the earns simplest lump of-lay,-And oa lhls labored until he produced the effect he w,anteLtd produce!. A leason,lndeed, for the discouraged Jeremlah-a lesson for every one of us aoi manycenturleelaterl " " When God created man and woman, and the universe, He had a definite plan for them all. It was not until man sinned that trouble came Into man's life. ' In spite of God's deliverance of the children of Israel fronu bondage, and all the wonders He wrought on behalf of Hla chosen people, they nevertheless continued to sin When they reached the Promised Land. Instead of obeying God's , commandments, they spent themselves in revelry and the worship Idols Instead of the worship of the one true God-thelr Deliverer out of bondage. ' 'V " But did God give up on man? No...He forgave time and time again. He punished-yesr-but He did ao as a lesson to man..and that only imSe 'm. beesj"' lgnaredt"'r'' -T-.-, v' ' v How like the potter God Is!

Should we not do our part in the re-ahaping of our HvesTFor certain It Is, if ws will but freely admit the error of our ways; If we will strive for the perfection of love towards onesnomer that was evidenced by the life of Christ; If we will; dedicate ourselves to His will, emptying ourselves of all that is vainglorious and alnful...then we will be worthy of claiming the gift of salvation that was bought so dearly with Christ's blood. ! -- -v. l - I Npr peed we be afraid that our supplications will fsll on. deaf ears!
