1. The mirror - to show us ourselves as we are and may be.—James 1:25
2. The laver - to wash away our sin and defilement.—Ephesians 5:26
3. The lamp and light - to guide us in the right way.—Psalm 119:105
4. The mild, bread, strong meat, and honey - affording sustenance and satisfaction to the believer at all stages of spiritual development.—Hebrews 5:12-14; Psalm 19:10
5. the fine gold - to enrich us with heavenly treasure.—Psalm 19:10
6. The fire, hammer, and sword - to be used in the work and warfare of life.—Jeremiah 23:29; Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17
7. The seed - to beget souls in God's image and to plant harvest fields for God.—James 1:18; 1 Peter 1:23; Matthew 13
