The Potter’s Wheel

Isaiah 27:13-16 Isaiah 64:6-8

I: “He wrought a work on the wheels.” The clay was placed upon the wheel and began to spin. The clay was spinning in a circle but the potter was fashioning a vessel. Our lives may seem to move in the same old Pattern, but God is molding. The potter never sleeps nor slumbers.

II: The Wheels stopped. The regular routine was stopped. Something had gone wrong that stopped the potters wheel. God sometimes breaks in upon our circle to stop the wheels, sorrow, death, trouble, etc. The wheels stopped because the clay would not mold. There was parts of the clay that would not mold and must be removed. (Paul & the Castaway)

III: “So he mad it again another vessel.” After the hard clay was removed it could never be made into the original vessel. He mad it another vessel as seemed good to the potter. There comes a time when the vessel can never be remolded but only broken in pieces. Are you willing to become pliable in the Masters hands? Are you willing for him to remove the stubborn clay?
