Have you ever seen a skilled potter shaping a vase? Now animate that picture. Suddenly, the clay jumps off the wheel and declares to the potter, "You don't exist!" or "You're an idiot. I'd rather do it my way!" Sound ridiculous? It's what a lot of us do with our Creator. Romans 9:19-32 declares that with all of our strutting and fist raising, we are, after all, just clay in the Potter's hands. The question is, "Do we respond to His merciful touch or have to be trashed because of hardened resistance?"
