Spiritual Treasures In Clay Pots

2 Corinthians 4:7  

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, 

that the excellency of the power may 

be of God, and not of us." 

    It is commonly know that clay pots break easy when they are empty. We are nothing but earthly vessels in God's clay pots. When the vessel inside that clay pot is filled with the Holy Spirit; it's not going to break. At times we get weary and may begin to crack, or get tossed around and dropped, but never completely fall apart or (break). Why? Because the Gospel of The Glory of God is all about us; earthly vessels in God's clay pot's. 

    All who have this Spiritual Treasure (Believers in Christ), are like common clay pots. In order to show that supreme power belongs to God, and not to us; We are troubled but not crushed. Sometimes in doubt, but never in despair. There are many enemies but never without friend, and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed. "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed," (2 Cor. 4:8-9). 

    Let's all look closely into our lives as Believers in Christ.  Are we clay pots setting still and empty. Are we cast down, destroyed forever. Maybe we are a weak vessel inside God's clay pots that can still be destroyed, or we can be a vessel filled with the Holy Spirit, that Satan himself can't destroy 

    My Friends, God in His mercy has given this work to do. We put aside all secret and  shameful deeds. We do not act with deceit or do we falsify the Word of God. "Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not," (2 Cor. 4:1). The Gospel we preach is hidden, it is hidden from those who are lost and kept in the dark by the evil of this world. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:,"(2 Cor. 4:3).

Amen!
