Clay

Clay

A potter puts clay on a wheel, pats, spins and molds a vessel with his hands.  The clay becomes what the potter chooses to make.  Afterward the clay is put in a heated kiln, when cool it is painted and heated again.  It is a process required for the finishing of a useful vessel.  God is the potter and we are the clay.  During the process, things sometimes don’t feel pleasant; but, He is making us vessels fit for His use.

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Isaiah records, “But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.”  Isaiah 64:8 (KJV)
