Reading: Deuteronomy 1-2 and 2 Corinthians 4
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
Thoughts: When going through heard times, when the would feels like it is against you it is easy to forget that we have a treasure, and with that we also have the promises that we will not be crushed or driven into despair, we will not be forsaken or destroyed. When we carry Christ’s death with us we get his life. We are told that there will be trials and tribulations that will come from being a follower of Jesus but we are to count it as Joy when we suffer for His sake.
Prayer: Father God I thank you for your strength and wisdom to walk through the afflictions and trials that will come being your adopted son. Your love is enough for me, you provide all that we need and lead us every day. Open my eyes to your path.
