Romans 9: 20-21 (NIV)

But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” ²¹ Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

O Lord, who am I to question your authority? You formed me and made me like this.

Use me, O God, whether you chose me for noble purposes or common use.

Mold me, shape me!

Romans 9: 23 (NIV)

What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory

Lord, I am the object of Your mercy. You called me before I was born.

You are preparing me for Your Glory. I fall to my knees at the thought of your Mercy.

Thank you God that I am in Your Mighty Potter’s Hand!
