Bible References

Thou art

For You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us
And Israel does not recognize us.
You, O Lord, are our Father,
Our Redeemer from of old is Your name.

Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Israel is My son, My firstborn.

“Do you thus repay the Lord,

O foolish and unwise people?

Is not He your Father who has bought you?

He has made you and established you.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Are the clay

You turn things around!
Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay,
That what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”;
Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?

“Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker—
An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth!
Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’
Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?

“Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will announce My words to you.”

On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it?

All are

Everyone who is called by My name,
And whom I have created for My glory,

Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”

“Remember these things, O Jacob,
And Israel, for you are My servant;
I have formed you, you are My servant,
O Israel, you will not be forgotten by Me.

‘Your hands fashioned and made me altogether,

And would You destroy me?

Know that the Lord

Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Yodh.

Your hands made me and fashioned me;

Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting;

Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
