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?’" 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?" (Romans 9:20-21 NIV)
This Scripture just made me reflect on the messages I've been hearing at church on how God used people like Peter and Paul in the Bible to work miracles and how God used people like Smith Wigglesworth and William Seymour to spearhead revivals that brought so many to Christ. These were ordinary men but were used by God for special purposes. They carried the presence of God. They walked with the Holy Spirit. These people, just to name a few, were pottery for special purposes.
I don't know about you but I want to be made and molded for special use!
I've discovered that for God to use you, you have to be separated. Lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily entangles you (Hebrews 12:1). Walk with the Holy Spirit. Bury your head in the Word. Desire God and nothing else. Press into His presence. There is so much more in God for us! There is so much that He wants to use us for! But He needs our attention.
