2 Timothy 2:20,21 In a large house there are things made of gold and silver. But there are also things made of wood and clay. Some of these are used for special purposes, others for ordinary jobs. The Lord wants to use you for special purposes, so make yourself clean from all evil. Then you will be holy, and the Master can use you. You will be ready for any good work.

It’s a vivid picture, isn’t it? It’s a picture that’s meant to raise the question in our minds: Which one am I in God’s eyes? Am I one of those vessels of gold or silver, set apart for special purposes? Or am I one made of wood or clay, for ordinary jobs?
Remember, it was the vessels of wood and clay that were used for carting out the night soil. An essential job to be sure, but not necessarily the one you want to be used for, I’m imagining. What does God want?

That’s His Word. Fresh … for you … today.
