2 Timothy 2:21

Mighty Servants of God. “Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

Jesus prepared Himself for being used by God. He became part of the world He came to save, filled His mind with Scripture, affirmed His desire to fulfill God’s call in His life, resisted temptation, spent time re-connecting with the Father, and surrounded Himself with a spiritual support community. What are you doing to prepare yourself to be used by God?

Prayer: God, if Jesus needed and lived by these spiritual habits in order to be an instrument for Your purposes, then I know that I need to practice them, too. How can I prepare myself to be of greater use for You? What do I need to add? What do I need to take away? Show me and make me useful to You, I pray, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
