Hey y’all! I know that I have some explaining to do regarding my absence.

At some point in time, you have heard, read, or referenced the first portion of Psalm 46:10 which states, “Be still and know that I am God”. Let’s talk! What does it mean to be still?

In my devotional time this morning, I read Jeremiah 18. In verses one through six, God instructs Jeremiah to go to the potter’s house.

I am currently reading the book of Jeremiah, but I am only seven chapters in. Jeremiah was God’s prophet, and within these first seven chapters, he was being used to warn the people of Israel and Judah of impending destruction.
