Treasures in earthen vessels...!

II Corinthians 4:7-9, 17-18 NKJV

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We  are  hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we  are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Shalom! Day #7. Do you know that we have treasures in earthen vessels? Let's pray. Father, though we are hard-pressed, pressured on every side of our lives, yet we count it all joy in serving You. For we know that our labor in Your name is not in vain, and that You have stored treasures in earthen vessels for us. Thank You Lord.  In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

For every believer, there is treasures in the earthen vessels,  stored by God for us. God is storing up earthen vessels full of treasure for us. But do you know why? Well it's because, He wants to reward us for being faithful to Him in faith as well as in serving. Your blessings is stored in the earthen vessels. It's just a matter of time for God to release it to you.

Now, people are watching us at the same time God is also watching us of how we are going to finish the race. Yes, walking as a Christian in this world is not an easy task. Yes, we  are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed, perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. Do you know why? Because when you pressed,  Jesus is actually bearing the maximum weight and just wanting us to feel the little weight. He is looking at us whether we go through it with murmuring and complaining or, with thanksgiving unto God for sustaining and enabling us to go through it. For the excellence of the overwhelming,  power of God is at work in our lives.

Now, the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Your situations you see now, is just a temporary thing. But, God has prepared for you the unseen eternal victory. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
