Romans 9:21-25
"Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignoble and dishonorable use?
What if God, although fully intending to show [the awfulness of] His wrath and to make known His power and authority, has tolerated with much patience the vessels (objects) of [His] anger which are ripe for destruction?
And [what if] He thus purposes to make known and show the wealth of His glory in [dealing with] the vessels (objects) of His mercy which He has prepared beforehand for glory,
Even including ourselves whom He has called, not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles (heathen)?
Just as He says in Hosea, Those who were not My people I will call My people, and her who was not beloved [I will call] My beloved."
Here in Romans 9: Paul is telling us some facts about God's part of our creation... He made us as a vessel is made for a purpose... We had wired into us a fire of
Information on God Himself... He placed clay around that to ground It... Put feet on It, a look out so to reflect where It is going... A waste shoot... To rid of stuff not needed anymore... And a voice box, to convey praise and adoration....
Then He Said; "I Choose What you do In My Name..."
Thank You Lord for making me in Your Image...
