Take a Moment: Wk 5 Day 1 Devotion & Prayer From Pastor Batiste

Title: “Cracked but Carried”

Some people hide their cracks, afraid that brokenness disqualifies them from being used by God. But Paul flips that idea on its head. He says we are jars of clay—fragile, flawed, and easily broken—but filled with an unshakable treasure: the power of Christ.

The cracks in your life don’t cancel your calling. They reveal the light within you. God doesn’t choose you because you’re flawless. He chooses you because you’re available. And He puts His power in you to prove that even the most fragile vessels can carry His glory.

So if you’ve been feeling like a mess—take heart. God specializes in using cracked vessels to carry a perfect message.

Reflection: What if your weakness is actually the place where God wants to display His strength?

Prayer: Lord, thank You for filling me with Your treasure even when I feel broken. Help me embrace my weaknesses and let Your power shine through them. Amen.

"Your cracks don't disqualify you; they create room for God’s glory to shine through."
