But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

2 Corinthians 4:7 (ESV)

Glory Through the Cracks

Reflection There was a season when an overwhelming responsibility required me to work in the U.S. time zone. The issues were complex, and the pressure often disrupted my sleep. I prayed for strength, but the situation did not change immediately.

As I surrendered my fears, tackled one issue at a time, and took one faithful step after another, God provided wisdom, encouragement, and peace through the people around me. The challenge became a window through which I saw His faithfulness more clearly.

Like a fragile jar of clay, I may feel ordinary and weak, but Christ’s treasure within me is never diminished. My cracks do not disqualify me; they can reveal His light. As my heart changed, a breakthrough came unexpectedly: I was offered another role within my company. Through this experience, I learned not to lose sight of God or lose heart. He is always working, renewing me, and using every surrendered weakness for His glory.
Prayer Lord Jesus, thank You for placing Your treasure within me. When I feel weak or inadequate, I rely on Your surpassing power. Shine through every crack in my life so that others may see Your grace, faithfulness, and glory. Amen.
