WHAT KIND ARE YOU?

"Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor.  2 Timothy 2:20-21 ASV

In any home, there are many different kinds of vessels. There are vessels that are for the kitchen (pots, jugs etc), for the bathrooms, for decorative purposes, for the rooms etc. Which of these do you think is the most important to the owner of the house? The answer is NONE because each vessel has its unique purpose. You cannot use a cooking pot as your drinking cup, the pot has its specific purpose and so does the cup too. Also a plastic vessel and aluminum vessel cannot be put on the burner with boiling bubbling water; its purpose will be defeated. From the verses above, you will observe that the vessels of gold and of silver are not necessarily better than the vessels of wood of iron, it all depends on their function.

The Bible likens each of us to vessels in a great house, which is God's house. Whatever vessel you think you are in God's house, the important thing is whether you are functioning in God's calling for you. As long as you function where God has positioned you, you're a vessel unto honor. Don't function in someone else's calling, everyone of us has a divine call from the Lord. Ask Him what yours is and function in it, when you do, God is pleased.
