2 Corinthians 4
Paul describes how we have this light (v4, 6) and how we have this treasure in jars of clay (v7). Of course referring to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, Paul wants us to understand how we have an earthly live and body that while it will be subject to difficulties we should not lose hope because ultimately we will gain victory over the sting of sin and death. Hallelujah!
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who loves me and who gives me victory over the sting of sin and death! Thank You Jesus - You are the greatest gift of all time. I am not deserving of such a gift. I am meek and I should be more bold with my faith. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. v8-9
