The Apostle Paul is a bonafied hero of our faith.  Upon reading the hardships he experienced for the sake of the gospel in 2 Cor. 11, all the struggles we face seem insignificant.  Yet, through his suffering we learn a lesson … that Christ gives us the strength we need to cope.

As Paul stated, the grace that Christ dispenses is adequate.  He knows.  He testifies from experience.  Therefore, we have two great examples of suffering … Christ Jesus Himself, and the Apostle Paul.  I want to hear his stories when I get to heaven.

DAILY PRAYER;  Lord, thank You for the grace You give so we can be strong even when weakened by the issues of daily life.  We trust You.

DAILY READING:  2 Cor. 10-13
