These are words in verse 29, quoted from Isaiah 1:9, where the phrase is, “The Lord of hosts.” This name of God is a reference to His position over “the hosts,” which is used in the Bible to refer to all created things (stars, planets, sun and moon) and all created beings (angels, seraphs, cherubs, and people). He is over everyone and everything—He is sovereign. He deserves our reverence, devotion, humility, obedience, and submission in all things. When we give Him these things, we are better able to see how wise He is in how He treats us—and we are then—only then—going to become “vessels of honor.”
