Jars of Clay!

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
2 Corinthians 4:7, NIV
Jars of Clay
The apostle Paul reminds us that though we may feel like ordinary jars of clay with imperfections and cracks, inside our jar is the greatest treasure imaginable, “the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” You may seem ordinary, but the truth is you’re extraordinary. God loves to show Himself through the unexpected. He loves to put treasure in people who seem unlikely, at a disadvantage, ordinary. You may feel small, but the Most High God is on your side.

When you look at what you’re up against, it can seem daunting—a sickness, a financial issue, struggling in your career. What you can’t see is that God has put in you the talent, confidence, and skills that will empower you to accomplish dreams that look impossible. You don’t know the treasure inside that’s going to wake up—the gifts, the calling, the ideas, and the potential that’s suddenly going to come alive. You’re going to feel a supernatural strength, a supernatural power, God breathing in your direction. He’s already preplanned your victory. You will discover the treasure in your jar of clay.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the unimaginable treasure You have put in me and for the privilege of representing You as a jar of clay, even with my imperfections and weaknesses. I believe that You will show Yourself to the world through the light of Jesus living inside me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
