2 Cor. 4:7. "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us."
In the mid-20th century, the Government of Thailand in Bangkok wanted to build a highway through a village. This highway would pass through a Buddhist monastery with a little chapel housing the heavy 11-foot tall clay statue of Buddha. They decided to relocate the chapel and its statue. They moved all of these one after the other with a crane. At the turn of the heavy clay statue, the clay began to break apart and crumble as they lowered it into its new location. Despite their careful handling, the clay fell off completely. The workers were amazed at what was revealed: the statue was pure gold underneath the clay.
Before this revelation, the people estimated the worth of the statue at about fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). Today, as a result of this revelation, it is worth millions of dollars and has since become a major world tourist attraction.
2 Cor. 4:16-18. "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." Like the Buddha statue went through some rough handling, which brought about the revelation of the glory of its underlying content, God is working out something to bring about the revelation of the non-perishable treasures in us. Whatever we go through that seems to be tearing us apart is not without the knowledge of God. He is using whatever we go through to prepare us for the revelation of HIS TREASURES IN US.
Everyone who is looking at the clay that houses us will not place much value on us until the revelation of the unseen, eternal weighty treasure in us. When we go through fire that is not meant to consume us, but will only refine us, we come forth as gold. Then, we become the rare commodity that the world is yearning for and can pay any price to enjoy what is revealed in us. In Job 23:10, Job in his trial declared: "when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold." We must be willing for God to conclude us through the best means He chooses for the revelation of the excellency of the glory of His treasures buried in us.

Luke 10:38-42: "Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving and came to him and said, 'Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.' And Jesus answered and said unto her, 'Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.' ... Martha received Jesus into her home to be a blessing to him. Matt 10:41 says, 'He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward.' Martha, therefore, was fulfilling the scripture: doing well to receive and serve Jesus. Martha had a sister called Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet to receive his word. Martha was busy serving to please the Lord. She did not care about the word. In verses 41 and 42, 'And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.' Jesus called Martha twice in verse 41, begging for her attention and imploring her to see the importance of what he had to say concerning her request. Jesus said to her, 'ONE THING IS NEEDFUL.' This one thing is the basis of everything. This one thing is the foundation of everything in God's kingdom. The continual detailed attention to and meditation on God's word is not only the basis for profitable service but for a fulfilled life. One thing is truly needful. You can choose that now. Embrace wisdom; it's the principal thing. Prov. 4:7-9, 20-22. Josh 1:8 and Matt 5:6. ... END.ONE THING IS NEEDFUL.
