The Yielded Vessel

free online devotionalsThe high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this:I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.” Isaiah 57:15 NKJV

Kathryn Kuhlman once said that God is not looking for golden vessels or silver vessels, but yielded vessels.

The yielded vessel is a sanctified vessel—cleansed and set apart from sin for God’s purposes. It is the yielded vessel that is a vessel of honor (2 Timothy 2:21).

The yielded vessel is a dependent vessel—It does not rely upon its own resources or abilities. It recognizes its need to be totally dependent upon the Lord. A yielded vessel walks in humility, giving God its consent to be all. It knows that without the presence of the Lord, it is an empty vessel with nothing to offer.

The yielded vessel is a receptive vessel—Water seeks out the lowest place as it flows. Pour out a bucket of water on the side of a hill and it will not follow the path up the hill, but down it. It is into the yielded vessel that the Holy Spirit flows.

“We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 NKJV

Lord, I am Your yielded vessel.
I choose to be set apart, lowly, humble, dependent—
Not to be a useless vessel, but to be a vessel filled with You.
Pick me up, or set me down.
Use me now, or use me later.
Keep me active, or keep me quiet.
Put me in a prominent place, or put me in an unnoticeable place.
Use me here, or use me somewhere else.
Use me for special occasions, or use me for everyday occurrences.
Either way, Lord, I am content to be in Your hands, in Your care, in Your keeping—to be known by You, to be used by You, for whatever is pleasing to You, and brings You glory.
