My DH preached his very first sermon on this verse. He brought in different types of examples. He was this fat jar/vase made from clay and covered in ornate colors stating he could hold so much and could do many different jobs from holding flowers to cookies; I was a tea pot--he said warm inside, had a handle to hold on to and poured out comfort:) how sweet huh! We each were molded by the Father into who we are today. Can you think of an example of what you might represent in the clay world?
My DH mentioned because he has a potters wheel and turned a many pots in his time how difficult it is to pull the clay up into the shape you want and to make sure the clay is even all around and doesn't colapse and that often it had to be pushed back down and done again. Now think of the LORDS job of molding us;how hard it is to keep us focused on HIM and not going astray and how he has to "redirect" us. Such a great analogy.
Let the LORD mold you into a better Christian daily:) But more importantly than that let him cover you with HIS Sons blood to forgive you and provide you everlasting life. John 3:16
Go and be a vessel unto the LORD!! What type of clay pot are you?
God Bless
