Bible Question:
Greetings Forum members! After reading this verse on the subject of God's sovereignty may I propose a different perspective? A vessel is a receptacle. Some hold food and drink, others hold the remains of the former. God indeed is the potter and we are the clay; are not BOTH are useful? Consider: which pot are you? And . . .laugh a little, I do think God has a sense of humor! Blessings, Mommapbs |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs: I am as common as a pot can be. However, common is better as it gets used. Where as we save our best for special times. justme |
