Pottery, Clay and Vessel

Isaiah   64: 8

But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we are all the work of thy hand.

I have made a lot of different pottery pieces in the past. I start with a formless ball of clay, forming it into a shape on the potter’s wheel. One sign of an experienced potter is a thin vase, cup, etc. A potter without a lot of experience will have thick pottery pieces until he masters the clay and successfully pulls it up into a thin shape. It takes a while to master the skill of pulling the clay into shape without it toppling over, and you start over again.

God has a lot of patience with us as he shapes us. We start as a ball of clay, and God leads us along to form the perfect shape for our lives. On the potter’s wheel, the potter makes functional vessels that he can use to drink out of, eat off of, display flowers in, and much more. Pottery is very useful and always serves a purpose. God forms us to do a particular purpose on earth.

We have many purposes: mother, father, caregiver, comforter, teacher, lawyer, farmer, librarian, minister, builder, doctor, and many more necessary professions that enrich and add to other people’s enjoyment on earth. Let God make you the vessel you are supposed to be on earth. You want to be a vessel that will enrich other people’s lives. Always be a good steward so people can see God’ss light shining through you and all you do. Do what you excel at doing, and always learn from your mistakes. No one is perfect but strives for the best you can be and spread God’s good works, and you will be an ideal vessel on earth.
