Vessel_clang clang

Vessel_clang_clang:
God chooses the vessel to be used in His  service. There are  vessels of honor and dishonor and also vessels of God's mercy and  some  are  vessels of wrath.

Some  vessel claims it had food once upon a time. Some vessel receives bread for itself and  fills and getting ready with the stones for others.

But  God fills the vessel in His kingdom to serve the Living bread_Jesus, Jesus said  in
"John 6:51 NKJV
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world "
Also  any service to God needs to be done in  love  with  love. Bible says in
" 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NKJV
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. [2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. [3] And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing."
Serving  God  without  love   amounts to nothing!!
I'm  reminded  of  a proverb which  says 'Empty vessel  make much  noise'_clang,  clang !!!
Christianity is  all about  God's love, God the Father's love _"John 3:16 NKJV
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God the Son's love :"John 15:13 NKJV
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends."
Spirit of God's love : " Romans 5:5 NKJV
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us."_ Dear Heavenly Father thank you for the living bread_Jesus,  Lord  Jesus  we love you  because you  loved us first . Help us to  constantly  remind us of your unfailing  love  for us. Amen.

Believe in Jesus

 Danger of believing in one's own strength and riches  :
We see people around who believe in  certain things,  some  believe in people,  some believe in themselves,  some believe in  Medicare,  some in power and some in fame.
We see the plight of the man who trusted in  riches instead of believing in God.
"Luke 12:19-21 NKJV
And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."' [20] But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?' [21] "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."_ Here we see the foolish man who trusted in His  riches. Being rich is not bad but putting our trust in these things is an act of foolishness.
Also,  we learn about this in
" Psalm 33:16-18 NKJV
No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. [17] A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. [18] Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,"_In olden days,  the king who  possessed a great army and horses and chariots believed that,  these could save Him and His country from the enemy. But we learn that God's eyes are  on those who believe in Him_in His  Son Jesus Christ.
And
"Psalm 33:12 NKJV
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance."_Blessed is the nation to which you and I belong,  who has Lord as God.
Also
"Jeremiah 17:7-8 AMP
Most blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. [8] For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit."_Lord Jesus Thank you for planting us near the Living waters to have green leaves.  and to bear fruit. Amen.
