More Jars of Clay

A friend of mine pointed out to me this morning that following the reference to the jar of clay that I referred to in the last posting there was a miracle.

After Rebekkah drew water for Abraham's servant and his camels with her jar of clay she agreed to go with him to marry Isaac and she became a valuable link in the promise that God had made to Abraham.

When Aaron gathered the manna and put it in the clay jar it did not go bad like the manna that people gathered for themselves and tried to save.  It is a wonderful picture of Christ in us and we in Christ.  The manna was put into a jar of clay and the jar was placed in the ark.

The widow of Zarephath had food enough for herself, her son and for Elijah.  The widow in Elisha's day was able to pour out enough oil into borrowed jars so that she had enough money to pay her debts and live. 

And so goes the miracles following the jars of clay.  What miracle is following you today?
