Bible verse

Isaiah 64:8

Isaiah 64:8

“But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.”

Isaiah 64:8 (King James Version (public domain))

What it means

We are clay, and God is the potter whose hands are shaping us still. That image brings humility and comfort at once: we are not finished, and we are not abandoned. Even the pressure we feel may be His careful forming. He does not discard the marred vessel but remakes it, and in Christ He is remaking us into His likeness. Yield to the Potter, for His touch is patient and kind, and the thing He is making is good.
