False assurance


2 Timothy 2:20 

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver,

but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

 

 

 

Preparations made oft give a false assurance

until tested thoroughly to withstand the worst conditions

It is so with every issue in life’s offered pathway

unless tested continuously to overcome one’s own fruition

 

Many live religiously in search for godliness

Setting patterns of behavior to be accepted by one’s self

They’ll show up notoriously as vessels of emptiness

in a forever lost endeavor that they store up for themselves
