“2- Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and
there I will cause thee to hear my words.” (Jeremiah 18:2 KJV)
Notice what God was saying in verse 2 “Arise” – it speaks
of faith. “…and go down”- speaks of humility and obedience. As you come in His presence be it in your
private worship, in your prayer and Bible reading. Or in your public worship as
you come in His presence at your home church or wherever for worship; you
exercise your faith, humility, and obedience to God. Before you can hear God
speaks; it is of importance that your faithfulness in your private and public
worship is consistent with your daily living. We need to exercise these three:
faith, obedience to Him, and humility. Surely, God’s blessings will be out of
question.
“5- Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the
elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility:
for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6- Humble yourselves
therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.” (I
Peter 5: 5- 6 KJV)
