But……….
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;
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9
We are but earthen vessels, not vessels of gold, silver, precious metals, but simple earthen vessels. But within our vessels we house the very power of God.
Why in simple earthen vessels you ask?
So that we may not claim that the power is of us, but rather of Him.
What does that power allow?
It allows a lot of but God’s………
hard pressed BUT not crushed;
perplexed BUT not in despair;
persecuted BUT not forsaken;
struck down BUT not destroyed.
The power of God within us allows us to say
BUT GOD
in any situation we find ourselves in, no matter how desperate it looks.
What do you need to proclaim BUT GOD about today?
