2 Cor. 11 is a catalog of Paul’s sufferings for the sake of the message God gave him. It is a seemingly incomparable description of human suffering that few can describe. Yet, he saw every such occasion as a chance for the power of Christ to rest upon him. He did not resent the personal price he paid, but rather gloried in his sufferings because he was rewarded with a greater measure of God’s power and Spirit resting upon him and working through his life.

It’s not like we are looking for ways to suffer … no worries, if you give your life to Christ, they will find you.

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for bringing us through life’s many challenges and giving us a greater measure of Yourself. You are worth it.
