Our Sufficiency Is In God

-August 9, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Saturday,

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not us.”

(2 Corinthians 4:7).

The Christian life is not about is, but is all about Jesus. In ourselves we are weak, inadequate, and insufficient; but Christ is strong, adequate, and sufficient.

The treasure we have in earthen vessels is Christ in us, the hope of glory. He wants us to rely on Him, not on ourselves. An earthen vessel can be translated a jar of clay. Clay vessels are fragile and easily broken.

God’s power flows through our weakness. This way all the glory goes to Him. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to us through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 says, “And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

There is a wonderful hymn written by Andre Crouch, entitled, “Through It All.” The chorus says, “Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, I’ve learned to trust in God; Through it all, through it all, I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.”

Have a blessed day relying on God’s sufficiency. Stay safe and healthy.

I am weak but He is strong; I am nothing but He is everything.
