A Vessel God Uses

The vessel that God uses is one that experiences grace through suffering and
obedience. God liberally fills our lives with His grace and expects us to pour His
grace into the lives of others. Grace is the active investment and involvement from
God to undeserved people. (Pastor Wayne Cockrell)

Job speaks of life’s emptiness. Job 14:1-2 “Man who is born of woman is of
few days and full of trouble. He comes forth like a flower and fades away; he flees
like a shadow and does not continue.” Even Job 15:31 solidifies this emptiness by
stating “Let him not trust in futile things, deceiving himself, for futility will be his
reward.” Literally: emptiness rewards emptiness!

Every good thing can remind, beckon, and awaken in us a greater desire for
the elusive “something more.” The closest we get is a hint, an echo in a face, a
painting, a scene…And then it is gone. “Our best having’s are wanting’s,” said C.S.
Lewis. We were made for God, and in the end, nothing less will satisfy us. Without
Him, we are all empty. He alone fills the hungry with good things (Psalm 107:9).

PRAYER: Fill me Lord til I want no more!! Thank You for having exclusivity
to our hearts when we obey and the more of You we want the more we can have!!
