Verse of the Day

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

Where do your treasures lie? What do you truly value? What does it mean to have "this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us"?

So many people value money today. It is there treasure. They look for the next bigger and better house, the next expensive "toy", a more expensive car, electronics, etc. This is truly a "keeping up with the Jones" society. What do you truly value? Do you let these monetary things rule your life? Do you treasures lie in your family (spouse/children)? Do you value these things above God?

Imagine a clay jar for just a moment. Can you see through this jar? Can you tell from the outside what is on the inside just by looking? Absolutely not! We are the clay jars. The potter has molded us to perfectly, with a God shaped whole that can only be filled by the Holy Spirit. This gift, this treasure, is priceless. No money could replace it. No jewel. No material possession. No person could compare or love us, understand us or accept us like the Spirit.

Where do your treasures lie?
