Do Not Lose Heart

Lenten Reflection

Scripture:  2 Corinthians 4:16 - Therefore, do not lose heart!

Observation:  Why are we told not to lose heart? One of the reasons is...
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed,but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

Application:  We must remember that the reason we are not pressed, not perplexed, not crushed, not in despair...is because our strength and power come from God and not from us!

Kneel: God, we beg you to grant us the humility to see that we need you - we need your strength! Your strength and power sustain us and they are a treasure to us! Glory be to God!
