2 Corinthians 4:7-9 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed…

He is the Potter and we are the clay… When we take up the cross and follow Christ, He takes this earthen vessel and transforms it into a vessel of honor. We die to ourselves and put on Christ as God reshapes and remolds us into His very likeness, His very image!

It is in our weakness, during our trials and testing God shows Himself strong! With His power, through the Holy Spirit, we can stand up in any trial that we may face… Jesus said that in Him we can have peace. In this world we would have tribulations, but we should be of good cheer because He has overcome the world!

And if we are in Him and He is in us, we have the power to be an Unexpected Warrior!
