Being an earthen vessel as we are, we are always subject to
making mistakes. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ, that He
came and paid for all of our mistakes on Calvary, that is
if we accept HIS Sacrifice and commit our lives to HIM.

The Earthen Vessel Why the Lord has chosen earthen vessels is still a mystery to me, the Glory of the Lord descending upon them all because of the work on Calvary. But an earthen pot is so unstable till His Spirit abides within, able to strengthen us because of our weakness and help us to overcome every sin. For I know that in my earthly vessel alone, I cannot stand, but learning to call on my Father’s help in time of need He’s always near to give me a helping hand. And sometimes, these vessels of ours do not do the things that we ought, but remembering He is the Great Potter truly satisfies this little pot. Now Lord, help this vessel to be one of honor so on it Your Glory may fill, that I can stand up for Jesus’ sake and promptly answer Your sweet call. Written by Marilyn S. Jennings 1994
