You may think “Well what’s the big deal?” He already made Adam and Eve. They were already vessels. This is the point that this represents, this marring represents our freewill, like Isaiah; each person goes their own way. Sin at its root, “I do what works for me. I’m going to go my way, not God’s way.” “Well, you mean I exist for that purpose to be conformed, to be transformed, to be all this?” Yes. Now, if you have that, then you’re going to need to look at the process.
Pastor Melissa Scott tells us that number three. This is my favorite part of the message. How does God carry out His process? The wheel. And I’m the clay and He’s the one doing work, He’s the potter doing the work on the wheel, which is how the process is going to be carried out. And I’m on this wheel. Now please I don’t even want to see hands. How many of you in the last seven days thought, “This is my circumstance, what I’m going through, my troubles, my tribulations, my everything.” How many of you thought, “This is part of my wheel. Thank God”? Don’t show me your hands. I know because I’m guilty. I griped about something instead of saying, “This is part of my wheel. This is how God’s shaping me.
Everything that’s going on in my life God enters into all things to work His good. If you can caricature for a minute, how many of you view your life, your life circumstance, your failures, your short fallings, all the debacles in your life, how many of you view yourself as caricature on the wheel with hands lifted up, as your life looks like it’s spinning out of control? How many of you feel like you’re on a wheel, lifting your hands up and saying, “Lord I know you’ve got me. I’m praising you. I know you’ve got me. It’s okay.” Versus the ones where the wheel is revolving and you’re on the wheel and you look like a woman that’s fighting, “Get me off of here!” No, mine is supposed to be the genteel wheel. You know, the smooth kind. Right?
