2 Timothy
2:21
"Those who
cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes,
made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work."
NIV
"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."
KJV
The Word of God
says we, who are saved, are responsible to clean ourselves up from dishonorable
thoughts, words, and deeds so that we can be useful to God and His purposes.
This cleaning is not something we can give mental assent to and it will be done.
We cannot make half hearted attempts and put on an outward appearance of being
clean. It will take getting on our knees, humbly before our Lord, confessing,
repenting, and committing ourselves to God totally for His use. God chooses to
use those individuals who choose to make themselves pure of worldly stains and
are prepared to carry out His will.
Heavenly Father,
how sorry we are that we get lazy and complacent in our spiritual walk. Help us
to have zeal for being holy and pure in Your eyes so that You will be able to
use us for Your purpose and we will be faithfully waiting to accomplish Your
bidding. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
