An
Inkling
In
recent months I’ve seen several people link this video. It’s hysterical in a wincing sort of way –
hysterical in that it’s only a slight twist on some of our popular worship
songs, and wincing in that it’s too close to the truth for comfort.
When
Paul writes that “we have this treasure in earthen vessels,” he isn’t
kidding! (2 Cor. 4:7) We can make even worship about ourselves and acts
of devotion a mere charade. “Lord, what
were you thinking, putting such treasures in us?!”
Paul
glimpses into the depths of that mystery as he continues, “so that it may be
clear that this extraordinary power comes from God and does not belong to us.”
Yep,
that’s clear. And our laughter and
wincing show that we’re getting a glimpse too.
Thankfully this is a treasure that rubs off.
Blessings,
Keith
