Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rom. 15:13
In a village, there was a potter who created beautiful vessels. After making it, the first vessel was sold to a person who kept the vessel in his home rack without using it. The second vessel was sold to a florist. He filled the vessel with flowers, and the value increased a bit. The third one was sold to a Gold shop owner, he filled the gold and diamonds in the vessel, and the value of the vessel increased a lot because of the Gold and diamonds.
The Bible tells us that God is our Potter and we are the clay (Isa 64:8). God makes each and every individual with special care (Psa. 139:14), and we are His vessel. Just by believing Him, He makes our vessel so precious. Believe and let God fill your vessel with the gifts of salvation and the Holy Spirit. By believing, the God of hope brings joy and peace through faith, allowing you to abound in hope. As 2023 approaches, let us empty the bad stuff through confession and invite God to fill your vessel with heavenly riches, and remember you are precious in His sight (Isaiah 43:4).
