Potter and clay

Human beings are clay shaped by the Almighty Potter.

So are events.  Isaiah says that long before the events happened the Lord “fashioned-like-a-potter” the Assyrian invasion and devastation of city and country in Israel and Judah (Isaiah 37:26).

If the Lord is a potter fashioning events, those events are presumably His “art.”
