Reading: Deuteronomy 5-6, Psalm 64, 2 Corinthians 6, and Mark 8
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:3-6, We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love
Thoughts: As I was reading this, I could not help but think back on the events of 2020 and how so many of the major cities across the US were being burned. When many Christ followers are being persecuted because we stand up for what the Word of God says and that it is contrary to what Big Tech, Major Media, and celebrities we are the ones being called all the slanderous things and being told that if we do not become like them, we are the problem with the country. Paul is reminding us that we need to be ready for the hardships and that we are to overcome it by the Holy Spirit and those things that He brings to us.
Prayer: Father God you are so good, you give us through your Spirit the ability to overcome all affliction that comes our way. You give us a way out of our temptations. Grow us in your knowledge and power that we may be ready for every trial that comes our way.
