20But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? Romans 9:20-21
Tonight I had the privilege to watch my friend on the potter's wheel. It looks so simple and easy when we watch it in movies (It Takes Two anyone :)But this is such a complex subject. She kept trying to get one spot to be straight, but it would not give in. Finally she had to just cut part of the top of it off so that it would be even.
This is so much how we are in our lives! We are sitting on the potter's wheel of the world with the ultimate Creator wanting to mold and shape us. Yet we don't want to give into places where it hurts or where it's difficult. Finally He has to let the pain happen so that we can be smooth and good vessels. It may hurt and we may not understand, but who are we to question what the potter does to us? His plans are bigger to make a beautiful masterpiece!
