In the 1800s, two brothers, John and Will, were carrying out research on nutrition and the impact certain foods can have on a body. While making dough, one of the brothers forgot about his batch when leaving it out to dry.
Much later, when the brothers tried to roll out the forgotten dough, it splintered into dozens of individual pieces. Not ones to let anything go to waste, the brothers decided to go ahead and bake the pieces, and they accidentally discovered a new food called granose, which the brothers, whose last name happened to be Kellogg, went on to mass produce as corn flakes.
In 2 Corinthians, we reminded that “God … has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” (4:6-7)
Like corn flakes, that are nothing more than broken pieces of dough, we come to God as damaged, scarred, imperfect creations, and his Spirit works through us, not so that we can be praised, but so that God can be praised.
