Read: 2 Corinthians 4:1-12

The story of Moses yesterday reveals that it’s quite natural to skirt God’s calling for our lives. Despite our desire to be used by God, we often get paralyzed by insecurity. Sometimes it’s due to a lack of experience. Other times it’s based on our own failures or personal issues of brokeness.

God is not caught off guard by any of these.

As you read the verses from 2 Corinthians, notice that the mark of true ministry is not perfection or results. In fact, Paul calls us “jars of clay,” indicating that he knew that imperfect people would be the ones carrying the responsibility of sharing, showing, and inviting people into Kingdom life.

Journal/Text Question: What is your weakness that often keeps you from stepping out?

Prayer Starter: Jesus, help me to see myself as a jar of clay to be used by you.
