Notes About The Poem

The Lord is revealed in the Old Testament as the Potter.  I
have taken pottery in college.  Learning how to shape,
cut, sand and fire clay is not an easy task but, the LORD
knows exactly when, where how to do these things to
precision.  When we go through trials... He knows what
He is doing and why.

The Vessel

The Vessel

The Lord, being the Great Potter,
has picked out this tiny vessel especially for you,
He is wanting to show how precious to Him the two of you are
and He says nothing else more fitting could possibly do.

Though the vessel’s size may be small
yet its market value is exclusively high,
no nothing is too good for His servants He says,
and your limit which is set by Him is to the sky.

But to prepare this lovely vessel
the Potter took such pain staking care, 
precision molding and just the right fire with proper timing of course
made this vessel one which is so fair.

And so with you my dear ones, 
such a value He has placed upon the two of you, 
great time has been spent shaping, sanding and firing your vessels
so don’t wonder, just look forward to what He is planning to do.

As it was in Elisha’s day
and how the vessel of oil, why it never ran dry,
so your visions and dreams will all come to pass
and still be running over the top till with Him away you will fly.
