Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest
against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast
thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of
the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
God is
ultimately sovereign. Mankind was formed from clay, all from the same lump.
Some will end up being honorable vessels, some, not so much.
Dug from the
ground, placed on a table, water added, kneaded, thrown on a wheel, spun,
baked, painted, glazed and baked again. Such a difficult process, such varied
possibilities.
Bread bowls,
drink cups, jewelry boxes, spittoons, chamber pots, cracked pots, all fashioned from the same
material.
Our part is to
yield ourselves to the touch of the Master's mighty and artful hands. The same
clay that is softened by water can be hardened by the sun.
Will you, merely
clay, yield yourself today to the Potter to be made into a vessel of honor?
Don't fight the process, but work with the Master.
