Thank you Lord for this morning!
I slept well yesterday, after such an early rising. Today our staff leaves the church at 7:30 bound for Asbury UMC Tulsa to learn about their ministries and meet with their staff.
II Cor 1:1-11
Paul states that God comforts us in all our troubles, and when others are troubled we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. He goes on to relate how when he was in Asia (modern Turkey) he and his companions were “crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endured”. As a result, they stopped relying upon themselves, and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. This is a great lesson for every believer, to rely upon God. Sometimes it is a hard lesson, as here in Paul’s case.
Lord I desire to rely upon you in every way, all the time. Guide me as I journey forward today, and each remaining day in this short life.
