A puppet or a vessel?

Puppet

 

When someone mistreats you, you should always remember that it is only the enemy who is using that person (like a puppet) to try and get to you.

You can also be used by the enemy like a puppet – if you let him.  For example if you take offence or if you don’t live a life that glorifies God in every area of your life.

God also uses people, but as vessels.  A vessel is a canal that is used to transport something.

God uses people to “transport” His Word and love.

You have to choose if you are going to be a vessel which God can use or a puppet which the enemy will use (and in the end) to embarrass you.

Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

2 Timothy 2:21

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1 - NKJV
