Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
Isaiah 64: 8
This verse kept coming to mind as I watched the video below. With meditative music, these images can lead us closer to God as we allow him to mold and shape our lives.
This is a type of prayer called Visio Divina – spiritually watching a video or a painting or even a beautiful sunset and emerging your soul with God’s. A divine moment.
Lectio divina is praying with scriptures; visio divina is praying with media.
So take a deep breath and allow yourself to melt into this video.
How did these masters of pottery led your to the Potter of all?
I love this. I had experienced this once at a church that did a little presentation of it. Enjoyed it.
I often wanted to stop at our local pottery shop, just to try my hands on the spinning wet clay. I think the actual tactile experience would enhance my prayer image of this too.
Wow! The carving is awesome! No wonder I have some funny pains every once in a while! LOL Thanks so much for this!
You make me smile, Lynn. I thought the video really added to that verse. calming too.
Mesmerizing. The masters used sharp tools to cut and wooden mallets to pound. The results were stunning. My takeaway? Relax in the Master’s hand, and allow him to cut and pound. The final result will be well worth the uncomfortable process! Thank you, Jean!
I thought the video was fascinating too. does bring you into amazing prayers. Thanks for adding to the conversation Nancy
