SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 8-6-02
My
Worship Time Focus: To be used of God
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: 2Timothy 2:20-21
Message
of the verse: “20 In 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. 21 If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for
honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to
use you for every good work.”
I really think that these verses in
the New Living Version are self- explanatory for me to understand and to write
on. If the life that I live is clean I
will have the opportunity to be use by God for His honor and glory, and if I
make a mess of my life by not obeying the commandments that are taught in the
Scripture then God will not use me. I
must point out that because I am a child of the King that He can use me. The other thing that I noticed in this verse
is the description of the utensils are both gold and silver, it is not wood and
clay. Paul uses similar descriptions to
describe the works of the believer at the judgment seat of Christ. If a believer works are of wood they will be
burned up and if they are of silver or gold they will last.
Spiritual
meaning for my life today: I believe
that if I can keep my life clean so that the Lord can use me when He sees fit
then when I have to go before the judgment seat of Christ my works will not
burn up but will last. I want to be
available for the use of the Lord for the cause of Jesus Christ.
The Word of God was inspiring to me today.
Memory
verses for the week: 1Timothy 6:9,10
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a
snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction
and perdition. For the love of money is
the root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in
their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
