Isaiah 22:24 And they shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity… A word to weak believers who are designated "vessels of cups." 1. It is a high privilege to occupy the least room in the house of our God. 2. God has service for the least vessel of His house, as well as for the largest. 3. The least vessel is God's property, and He will not disown, but maintain His property, and own it before men and angels, saying, "They are Mine," in the day when He makes up His jewels. 4. The bands, by which you hang upon the nail fastened in a sure place, are as strong as those by which the vessels of flagons are secured; for He has said as to both, "They shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of My hand." 5. The weakest measure of grace is a pledge of more; for "to him that hath be given." 6. Although you are not to envy or grudge at God's bounty liberality to others, in making them vessels of flagons, yet you may and ought earnestly to covet more grace than you have yet received. (E. Erskine.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. |
