P – Prayer (Open Your Heart)
Lord, I come to You today not just as I am, but as I’m willing to become. Help me not to rely on my own strength or drive. Soften what needs softening. Strengthen what needs Your Spirit. I surrender the need to control and commit to letting You lead. In Jesus’ name, amen.
R – Read (Scripture Focus)
📜 Isaiah 64:8 (NET)
"Yet, Lord, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the product of your labor."
O – Observe (Ask and Reflect)
🔎 What does this verse say about who is in control—me or God?
🔎 Do I see myself as “clay,” or am I still resisting the potter’s hands?
🔎 As a Choleric, how hard is it for me to yield my drive to God’s shaping?
M – Meaning (Understand the Message)
Key Words:
Clay – A symbol of pliability and submission. Clay does not shape itself.
Potter – A picture of intentional design and control. The potter sees the end from the beginning.
📌 Meaning:
This verse reminds us that God alone is the molder of lives. While the Choleric temperament is naturally decisive and independent, this scripture calls the strong to be surrendered. True strength is not in forging your own path, but in trusting the Potter to shape your purpose.
P – Practice (Apply the Truth)
🛠️ Today’s Challenge for the Choleric:
Before making a decision or taking the lead today, pause and pray:
“Lord, is this Your way or mine?”
Let your surrender become your strength.
💡 Reflective Question:
What’s one area in my life where I’ve been acting like the potter instead of the clay?
—Is it in my family, ministry, leadership role, or future planning?
T – Talk to God (Prayer of Transformation)
Father, I acknowledge You as the Potter of my life. Forgive me for the times I’ve pushed forward in my own will. I lay down the pressure to always lead and be in control. Shape me. Mold my temperament into something beautiful that reflects Your heart. I want to be strong, but Spirit-controlled. Use my leadership, not just for progress, but for Your purpose. In Jesus' name, amen.
S – Summary (What Stood Out Today?)
📌 Summary:
This devotion gently but powerfully reminds me that my Choleric strength is not meant to dominate—it’s meant to be surrendered. I am the clay, not the potter. When I try to control outcomes, push ahead in my own will, or lead without listening, I step out of God’s hands. But true leadership begins in yieldedness. Today, I’m invited to trust God’s shaping, allow Him to mold my drive, and lead through Spirit-formed strength, not force. My leadership has more impact when it’s led by the Potter Himself.
🗣️ Affirmation of the Day
“I am clay in the Potter’s hands. I am being shaped, not just to succeed, but to reflect Christ.”
📣 Closing Encouragement
You don’t have to give up who you are—you just have to give it over to God. Let today be the day your strength learns to lean on the Spirit. He’s not trying to break you, Choleric. He’s shaping you. Day by day. Thought by thought. Step by step.
🕊️ You are in the Potter’s hands. And that’s the safest, strongest place to be.
