Back to the wheel

Back to throwing again. I am in love with pottery. Guess I need to get the kiln and the wheel soon. I now fully understand what Jeremiah saw in Jeremiah 18:3 when he went to the potter's house and saw him working on the wheel. In verse 4 the pot is marred in the hands of the potter. This is quite an involved experience. When Jeremiah witnesses how this whole process is, the Lord gives him a message in v.5. In v,6 we are like clay in the potter's hand, we must just be willing to be moulded and re-moulded until we are what He wants us to be. The challenge with the clay is that if it becomes too marred in the hands of the potter, especially with too much water, it cannot be molded again until it is recycled. If the clay get too dry, it needs some water so that it can be molded. If the clay is bisqued in wrong shape, it cannot be remolded into shape again, in that case it is either broken or simply thrown away. Alternatively it can be recycled. :-) It is great to be a potter.
