This Treasure

Are you in possession of a treasure? Do you live like you have a treasure? So much of life is negative and we get conditioned to complain. Almost looking for the other shoe to drop. Paul presents this contrast between precious treasure in fragile vessels. Precious treasure is typically fortified in strong places, but God has invested a treasure in our fragile lives. This treasure is the ministry of the Spirit. Claim this treasure, embrace it. The world doesn’t need to hear our complaints. They need to hear our praise in spite of our affliction, perplexities, persecutions, and being struck down. Show the world your treasure.
