The Potter's Wheel
Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use? (Romans 9:21)
You turn things upside down, as if the potter were though to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, He did not make me? Can the pot say of the potter, He knows nothing? (Isaiah 29:16)
Do you ever feel you're not going anywhere, that you're going around in one big circle, doing the same things over and over again? You don't seem to be going anywhere but you still feel pressure! Consider this; The above Scripture says that God is the potter and we are the clay. Question: How does a potter mold clay? He puts it on a wheel and then spins it around applying pressure with his hands. Through the pressure, the lump of clay is transformed into a beautiful vessel.
So when you feel like you're going around in a circle, remember the potter's wheel. When you go through trials and suffering, and you feel the pressure, don't get discouraged. It's there to change you. Let the circumstance and pressure mold you into His image. Child of God, the purpose of your life is not good times or bad times-- but to be molded into His image. It's the difference between being beautiful and just being a lump of clay. You think about that.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace,....(Ephesians 2:13-14a)
