Morning Line: You are a Treasure
2 Corinthians 4:6-8
”For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 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…”
There is Treasure within You
God has given you talents, and He wants you to use. They may lie dormant under layers of failure, fear, or low self-esteem. You may be aware of them, but not know how to put them to work.
Ponder this: ‘.., we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.’ Only God, who placed your talents within us, knows where they’re hidden and how to release them. By not allowing God to develop your talents, you play into satan’s hands, living far below your potential. The fact is, you have so much treasure buried within you that the enemy is out to steal it. You never have to wonder about satan’s motives. Jesus said he comes ‘…to steal, kill and destroy…’ John 10:10.
Your talents may be raw and undeveloped, or buried under years of self-doubt, unconfessed sin, bad habits, regret, and despair. But God can take something that looks like nothing and create something wonderful. So imagine what He can do when He has something to start with! “Like You”!!
Today, let’s pray, ‘Father, help us to recognize the talents You have placed within us, and with the Holy Spirit to develop them for Your glory to lives around us, Amen.’ That’s a prayer God will answer!
Faith is your launching pad!
It’s always God’s desire for your best; let Him unfold it. It may not look like what you expected. He knows what you’re in need of and what is best.
“ I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. “ Philippians 1:6
Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit are your assurance, your sure, unshakable foundation.
You are chosen for this space and time in God’s timeline to make a difference. Prepare your heart, mind, and spirit. Take on the Armor of God and be ready.
You matter, Your Story matters, live expectantly!
Trust God, Trust His Love, Trust His “Word”, Trust the Process!
