Grace for your spirit April 7, 2008

Grace for your spirit
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves. II Cor 4:7

Remember Jed Clampitt and the Beverly Hillbillies song? Jed was a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed. Then one day as he was shooting for some food, up through the ground came the bubbling crude. When did Jed become a millionaire? Jed had always been a millionaire, he just didn’t know it. He was scraping by, while living on top of a fortune. The same is true of many spiritually. God has gifted us with His great treasures of righteousness, grace, Holy Spirit, and salvation. While we possess a fortune, we are scraping by on the scraps of religion. We have all His spiritual mineral rights. May the power of God that belongs to us enrich our lives.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
