'But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.'
2 Cor.4:7(KJV)

Once you are born into this world, you are just a vessel of human destiny,separated by sin from God (Rom.3:23).
Such a vessel is just a vessel of dishonour in God’s sight even if you are highly celebrated in this world!
Outside God’s plan of salvation (John 3:16), that vessel is a vessel of wrath.
The end of such a vessel is only and always destruction!
Such is the end of any journey of human destiny.

'But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.'
2 Tim.2:20(KJV)

'What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:'
Rom.9:22(KJV)

But when and if you embrace God’s plan of salvation in the person of His only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:12-13); a glorious inner change takes place (2 Cor.5:17).
You are now a vessel of mercy!
You are now on the journey of divine destiny!
You are a vessel of divine destiny!!!
The end of such a journey is glorious (Jer.29:11);and during the journey, your path gets brighter and brighter (Prov.4:18) in spite of all opposition.

'And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,'
'Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?'
Rom.9:23-24(KJV)

As a vessel of mercy with the help of the Holy Spirit you renew your natural mind with the word of God (Rom.12:2)so that you will be available to function more and more as a vessel of honour in the sight of God.

'If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.'
2 Tim.2:21(KJV)

The secret of you reaching the glorious end of this journey of divine destiny is depending fully on the Lord Himself (just as a sailing vessel depends on the sea to get from harbour to harbour) instead of one’s human resources based on strength and size.

'But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.'
Isaiah 33:21(KJV)

In Christ, you are destined to be an earthen vessel in which God dwells, and through which He moves in love to gracefully influence others so that they can also be vessels of divine destiny!

'But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:'
Acts 9:15(KJV)
