Zebra- black with white stripes? Hmm! 2 Timothy 2:20-21

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Today I have two things on my heart that I would like to share. How often is it we discuss or argue over worthless things, you know, the who cares thing. For instance, is a zebra white with black stripes or black with white stripes? When all is said and done, a zebra is black and white. Can you say geez-us? Now spell it J - E - S - U - S ! This is what our life is about, JESUS!

Prayer! Prayer is important. Elijah prayed, went to Ahab and confronted him about the spiritual adultery that was happening. Why did Elijah confront this bad king and his wife? Because God told him to and he obeyed.

2 Timothy 2:20-21 "But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."

House. The believer is now part of the great house of God being paralleled here.
Vessels of gold...also of wood. Every family has their special and valued dishes as well as everyday inexpensive ones.
In God's house if a man purge himself from the vessels of dishonor; he shall be a vessel unto honor. God doesn't play favorites, but HE is holy and cannot use unholy vessels. God is constantly on a talent search for ones whose heart is perfect toward him.
MEET means usable or fit for His use. Master speaking of the LORD, and prepared means equipped.

Okay, summary, 1) JESUS; 2) pray; 3)be equipped {the Word} 4) honor God. So, how hard is this, zebra style - black and white: Accept JESUS, pray, study the Word and bring honor to God. Now go forth my friend and do the right thing. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
