Do you want to be a high and holy vessel for God?

Would you be of use to God? Do you want to live a life of honor and glory for Him?

Then turn from wickedness and sin and attempt to live a holy life!

" In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." 2 Timothy 2: 20-21

In every home, there are treasured vessels; special china that is used for feasts, precious bowls that have a place of honor. There are also vessels that we use for daily works, such as everyday plates, regular glasses or garbage cans. They are serviceable, but not put to the highest work. And then there are vessels we buy for one time use; the aluminum baking tin or paper cup. They are discarded after their purpose has been filled.

God can, and does, use everyone for His will, glory and purposes. An evil man may be used by God to strengthen the resolve of a godly man. Pharaoh was used by God as a backdrop in which to show God's power. Moses, however, was treasured by God and used throughout his life for God's good works.

Do you want to be a high and holy vessel for God? One that shows God's light and glory over and over again? Then seek after Him, purify yourself, and live by Scripture.

"“For you will certainly carry out God's purpose, however you act, but it makes a difference to you whether you serve like Judas or like John." CS Lewis.

God's grace be with you,
Fr. Charles Butler
