Treasure is kept in clay jars. In the same way, we have the treasure of the good news in these earthly bodies of ours. That shows that the mighty power of the good news comes from God. It doesn’t come from us.
- 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NIRV)
Have you ever been on a treasure hunt?
I have not actually done treasure, but I have done scavenger hunts, they are fun.
You get a list of items and you run all over trying to find as many as you can.
Sometimes things are hidden in plain sight, like a sign or a landmark.
Some treasure is hidden better, like inside another object.
Geodes are kind of like treasure, on the outside they appear to be a regular boring old rock, but when you crack it open you are rewarded with something beautiful.
We might be similar to a geode, on the outside we look like everyday people.
But inside is a beauty that God placed there, a vessel filled with His love, grace, and forgiveness.
That is good news!
We can sparkle like the geode with the mighty power that God gives us.
Don’t hide inside your clay jar, get out there and sparkle!
