Treasure in Earthen Vessels

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 NKJV

Reflection:
Though we are weak vessels, God places His glory within us. It’s not our power that makes a difference—but His. We’re not just carriers of His presence—we’re couriers of His light, called to reveal His glory in dark places.

Application:
Trust the treasure, not the vessel. Let go of striving and self-dependence. Yield to the Holy Spirit and declare, “It’s not about me—it’s all about Jesus.” You are a vessel of purpose, filled with power.

? Connection:
Thank You, Lord, for placing Your treasure in me. Help me surrender to You daily and let Your glory shine through me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
