| 0:11.9 | Welcome to today's encouragement from our daily bread. |
| 0:15.9 | Yielded and Still was written by Kenneth Peterson and read by Wes Ward. Jeremiah chapter 18 verses 1 through 6. |
| 0:26.3 | This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord. Go down to the potter's house and there I will give |
| 0:33.2 | you my message. So I went down to the potter's house and I saw him working at the wheel. But |

| 1:49.7 | Jeremiah has much to speak into our lives today. The pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his |
| 1:57.0 | hand, so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. |
| 2:03.7 | This is a picture of how God reshapes us into his better purpose. |
