At the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island owned by Hilton Hotels, guests can spend the night 5 meters under the Indian Ocean in a private suite. The suite is encased in plexiglass and is accessible by descending a spiral staircase. Needless to say, the suite is quite breathtaking.
so coooooooooooooool

And by understanding it is established;
By knowledge the rooms are filled
With all precious and pleasant riches.
Provb 24:3-4
Built = Formed
Established = Strengthened
Jesus = wisdom
Understanding = empathy, connection, communication, chemistry, serving
Knowledge = intimacy, intimate details, trust, bond
Precious Riches = memories, integrity, reliability, honesty, words of affirmation,
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.2 Corinthians 4:7
The verse tells us that we have “this treasure” in earthen vessels. Who is the treasure? Christ! Who are the earthen vessels here? You and I! Thank God the treasure is in the earthen vessels.My friend, Christ the treasure is in you. So don’t get frustrated when you see your “earthiness”. You will always be “earthen” as long as you are in your mortal body, but remember that Christ the treasure is in you.
Should you lose your cool with your spouse or children, remember that Christ in you is your patience. When I feel impatient, I don’t pray, “Lord Jesus, give me patience… now!” No, I look to Jesus and I say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my patience.”
In my younger days and even when I first got married, I had a bad temper. I tried all sorts of anger management techniques, but I never got very far until I told God, “God, I am so frustrated trying to overcome my anger. I give up! I cannot. You can. I rest and depend on You.” Not too long after that, my wife commented, “You know, you have improved in the area of your temper.”
I thought about what she had said and realized that I was not even conscious of the change in me. When family members can see the patience of Christ manifesting through a naturally impatient person, God gets the glory.
Perhaps you are frustrated with your smoking and drinking habits. Or maybe you are discouraged by your feelings of jealousy, distrust, bitterness, depression and defeat. Don’t condemn yourself for being earthen. Don’t try to “cast out” your earthiness. Just realize that you have Christ the treasure in you.
The more you see that treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst of your earthiness, God gets the glory as you yourself are transformed from glory to glory! (2 Corinthians 3:18)
Thought For The Day
The more you see Christ the treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you.— Joseph Prince

Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ. — 1 Corin 3:10-11 (NLT)
