"Vessels"

John 11:51

He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,

"The plot to kill Jesus"

These are Caiaphas's words.The High Priest was unknowingly prophesying that Jesus's death was a sacrifice for the nation of Israel and for all who would believe in him, referencing to both Jews and Gentiles.

God has His ways of turning bad to good,

bad intentions to well intened one's and that was a prime example, as it was with Joseph.

Genesis 50:20

"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today."

I was hospitalized last November, in pain I was able to find that perfect peace that God alone provides. I prayed asking God, that since I was there could He use it for His purposes? He did and a man found salvation. Have you ever considered how your own painful experiences could be used to bless others? Or how your difficult past might be the very tool God uses to comfort or guide someone else going through the same?

Father God,

We come before you with hearts that belong to You. We ponder on the mysteries of your divine plan and we thank you that Your sovereignty transcends human malice and limited understanding.

We forgive those who have wronged us and acknowledge that while people may intend harm, you are able to take that evil and turn it into good.

Take from us bitterness and anger. We know that you can redeem and restore even the most painful situations.

When we're blind, help us to see beyond our circumstances. When we face trials or injustice, remind us that your hand is at work, orchestrating a plan that is far greater than we can understand.

We also pray for those who are suffering from the evil acts of others. Use us as Your vessels of hope and salvation, bringing comfort to those who hurt, and reminding them of your promises.

Thank you for sending us to all the nations around the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
