Meet For The Master’s Use

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use… —2 Timothy 2:21

One of my favorite Gospel songs is “To Be Used Of God” (Audrey Mieir). The chorus says:

To be used of God to sing, to speak, to pray;
To be used of God to show someone the way.
I long so much,
To feel the touch,
Of His consuming fire;
To be used of God is my desire.

Amen… that’s my desire also. But we must realize God is already using us as much as He can. His eyes run to and fro throughout the earth; He wants to show Himself strong in our behalf, not to show us strong in His behalf. If He could use us more, He would. Our prayer should be, “Make us usable.” If you are usable, God will use you!
