Clay Pots
You’ll recognize the reference to 2 Corinthians 4:7: “But we have this treasure in clay pots, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” It’s all about the treasure, not the jars. This is … Continue reading
Psalm 122 (Updated)
Though written by David whose palace sits in Jerusalem, he assumes the perspective of a pilgrim who has come from the farthest distance. We have arrived! We are here in Jerusalem and the first thing we want to do is … Continue reading
