for high quality use

2 Timothy 2:20-21 (JDV)

2 Timothy 2:20 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver containers, but also those of wood and clay; some for high quality use and some for low quality.
2 Timothy 2:21 So if anyone purifies himself from anything of low quality, he will be a special instrument, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good achievement.

for high quality use

I don’t like drinking out of paper or plastic. I’m sure there is nothing wrong with it, but to me it is just undignified. So, when I am at home, I drink out of a glass — or a mason jar. To me, that’s high quality. Feel free to differ!

Paul instructs Timothy to make himself and those he leads into special instruments set apart for high quality use. Godliness is not just for display purposes. Godliness makes us useful for our Master.

LORD, make us instruments of high quality, so you can use us for your purposes.
