Hello everyone,
Most of you know that last week I was struggling with God causing all things to happen, but actually that's not the part that was bothering me. I know that is true. It was something different that I won't go into.
Many times I have read the part about God creating vessels of honor and dishonor, but this time a few days ago in some of the replies; it jumped off the page at me, and is still in my face, but in a good way. I am overwhelmed with meditating thoughts of those words that are much more than face value. The spiritual implications are far more than a simple delight , and definitely not words to be read over in passing. Never on my own would or could I see so much said and explained in the words; God creates vessels of honor and vessels of dishonor.
I don't and can't blame myself anymore for anything because its God that has put into this vessel what pleases Him, and I can't do anything about it unless He has added in the beginning the ingredient to make it happen. I have so much to say about this topic but for now its just wonderful to have my eyes opened to a truth that is one of the many that sets you free.
Just in humor I have been trying to figure out which vessel I am. Being a gardener; I'll stick to familiar terms. I'm pesticide and a pest, fungicide and fungus, fertilizer in water PH balanced and unbalanced, weed killer and a weed that produces a flower, herbicide and a disease. All in one vessel at the same time dumped together. You know God is quite the chemist. Only He can put all these things into one vessel and bond them together to make them work for something good, or what seems bad to us which is good to God because He saw that it was good. Chemist are still working on the ch-elating process of bonding things together or separating toxins from something good but they are no competition for God.
Give some thought to vessels of honor and dishonor, and the explanations and understanding of it become unlimited but very fulfilling to put it mildly.
Peace
Roy
