Treasure in Clay Pots


It is so wonderful to know that even when we are unfaithful, Yah is not. Just because we are having a bad day or a lapse of faith does not change His promises to us.

"If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself." 2 Timothy 2:13

This is in part because He knows we are a work in progress. More importantly, since He is our Creator, He is intimately aware of how we are made.

"for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust." Psalm 103:14

This is why Yahshua Ha Messiah is perfect for the office of King, High Priest and Mediator. He suffered through all the temptations that are common to fallen flesh:

Hebrews 4:15—'For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin."

Yahshua pleads for us at his Father's throne, knowing just how difficult it is to remain faithful through every type of temptation. Doubt, fear, forebodings from without and within all can undermine our faith...for a season. All the same, we can overcome because HE overcame. The point is to trust Yahshua to prepare us for God's Kingdom. If we do that, Jesus will give us his righteous spirit received from the Father which will begin to transform us into vessels holding great treasure.

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves." 2 Corinthians 4:7

Remember that an earthen vessel starts out as dust or clay. If we yield to the Potter's hand, we can find ourselves transformed into reflections of his glory!
