you are a chosen vessel

26 November 2011 

“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…..My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.”  Joel2:26

The Lord will repay us for the years the locusts have eaten. In our life we have encountered looses in many ways. 


What are these "locusts" in our life? –it may be failures, disappointment, frustration, closed doors, always depressing situation, bad health,miserable family conditions, unemployment, let down feeling etc.

Lord promises us to bless us through a new green pastures ,where we can see double fold blessings. All our losses will be rewarded in His own time.  

• “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. Isaiah 54:4

It is a very strong and encouraging promise for God’s children. He will never leave His chosen people to be ashamed at any cast. God must have chosen you as a vessel for His purpose. You will be amazed to see the way in which you are chosen.

I like to share some verses from the Bible :   

• “…for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”Exodus 33:17

• “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; Jeremiah1:5

• But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts. I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s womb You have been My God.Psalm 22:9-10

• From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.I will ever praise you.Psalm71:6

• “Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely…..My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book Psalm 139:4-16 

• “…this is what the LORD says— he who created you, .... he who formed you, Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. Isaiah 43:1-2

•  “….I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;There is no God besides Me. Isaiah45;4

 'You are special' because the Lord Almighty has chosen you as His children and cared for you as a father.

• “….. in the wilderness. There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” Deuteronomy 1:31

• "I have upheld since your birth, and have carried since you were born. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:4

 The way of the Lord is different. When we are created in a meticulous way by the creator He will never lets us down to face any  lose or to be ashamed. 

 Praise the Lord

God be with you
