Day 341: II Cor 10:1 - 13:14

I think this passage is incredibly important for believers to read regularly in order to keep themselves in check. It's sad to say, but it seems like oftentimes Christians especially in the ministry tend to find lots of opportunities to brag and boast about who they are are what they've done for Christ. They make sure to let everyone know as often as possible that they not only know how to hear God's voice, but that they also possess the amazing skill of being able to follow His every command. Paul reminds us in these verses that compared to the Father and everything He's done for us, we have absolutely no reason to brag. Without God, we're absolutely useless and the sooner we can learn that, the sooner we can begin to truly appreciate the Father for Who He really is and not just for what He can do for us. Without God, our accomplishments and our accolades and our achievements mean absolutely nothing, but with God, there's no end to the things that we can accomplish.

- Lord, help me not to boast in myself or in the things that I've done. Help me to remember that there's nothing I could do that would ever compare to things that You have done and can do. You are the only thing that I can brag about and I vow to continually brag about You. -
