Great Treasure


But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (KJV) (2 Corinthians 4:7) 

The light shining in our hearts is the news that Jesus Christ is our Lord. We are charged with the task of showing the world how Christ has changed us. However, when we show these great abilities over time, it is easy to get puffed up and think we are the ones who are responsible for the greatness. Rather, it is important to stay connected to God and always remember He is the ultimate source of power.

Trouble Is Enough


Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (KJV) (Matthew 6:34) 

At the very root of worry is fear. Fear of the unknowns or what if's can erode away the security we find in God. Don't let this fear overtake you and allow the worry to creep in your thoughts. Place your confidence in Jesus that He will provide and comfort you. Then pray.

Wiser Than Elders


I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. (KJV) (Psalm 119:100) 

Think of someone who you believe to be wise. More often than not that person is older than you. With age comes wisdom, but that is not to say that wisdom only comes with age. When you are obedient to God and his teachings the Lord will bless you with insight.  Have you noticed a growth of wisdom from walking with the Lord?
