Wednesday
Read 2 Corinthians 4:5-12
5 For it is not ourselves that we preach;
we preach Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 The God who said, “Out of darkness the light shall shine!” is the same God
who made his light shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God's
glory shining in the face of Christ.
7 Yet we who have this spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, in order to show that the supreme power belongs to God, not to us. 8 We are often troubled, but not crushed; sometimes in doubt, but never in despair; 9 there are many enemies, but we are never without a friend; and though badly hurt at times, we are not destroyed. 10 At all times we carry in our mortal bodies the death of Jesus, so that his life also may be seen in our bodies. 11 Throughout our lives we are always in danger of death for Jesus' sake, in order that his life may be seen in this mortal body of ours. 12 This means that death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

Think
"...we who have this spiritual
treasure are like common clay pots..." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 We might not
look like much - but God lives in us.
Find the treasure in the people around you.
Pray
Lord fill my clay pot with the treasure of
your love and grace.
