Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:20-22
20In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions and the cheap ones are for everyday use. 21If you keep yourself pure, you will be a utensil God can use for his purpose. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
22Run from anything that stimulates youthful lust. Follow anything that makes you want to do right. Pursue faith and love and peace, and enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
Observation/ Application: I am breaking from the format today. I am not sure exactly why this passage jumped out at me. I just know that it did.
Growing up, we didn’t study the Bible at home. If we had, I think this would have been an excellent passage to hear, learn and reflect upon.
I want to be ready to be put to use by the Lord. And I hope to rear children who will be ready and willing to be put to use, as well.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for calling my attention to this passage. Please guide me in applying it in the way you would have me. And thank you for washing away my sins and still using me even with all my mistakes.
