II Corinthians 4:7 ” But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

As Job 4:19 reminds us, “We live in houses of clay.” Our bodies are frail & easily prone to infirmity, weakness, and debility. And so just like a clay jar, we’re easily broken…by physical aliments, mental anguish, and spiritual discouragement. But within our feeble exterior we have a treasure of unspeakable power…for it’s the Gospel Message and the Holy Spirit living inside that shows us where our true power comes from. This power of God within enables us to place our faith in Him and not in our own wisdom, (I Corinthians 2:5) and His Word living within gives us Spiritual life and understanding as He uses our weaknesses for His glory & our good.
