2Corinthian’s Chapter 10

Brothers and Sisters 😊

📖 In Second Corinthian’s chapter 10 today we see Paul imploring the believers in Corinth to…

“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord, for it is not the one who commends himself that is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends” (vs 17-18).

Q. Have you ever given in to the human condition of trying to build yourself up from within, or compare yourself to others to overcome a lack of confidence and gain self-esteem?

Q. Are you familiar with the arsenal of spiritual weapons available to fight against self-glory, insecurity, and a critical spirit?

🙏 Heavenly Father please forgive me for the many times I have tried to find false and unsatisfying identity in my own imperfect accomplishments, successes, or the approval of others, instead of the perfect identity and righteousness you have given me (because of Jesus finished work at the cross) as your fully accepted, beloved, and commended child.

🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today for the gracious gifts and powerful weapons you have appointed to us (Faith, Prayer, Your Word, Your Spirit, Your People, Your promises, and Sweet Communion and unification with You), in order to overcome our sinful wanderings and crush the barriers of our old nature – Please help us consistently seek and find rest in your eternal Kingdom, instead of the crumbling kingdoms of this world…

✝️ “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ!”

2 Corinthians 10:4-5
