Daily Bible reading




Help us, Lord, to work together With gifts that You bestow; Give us unity of purpose As we serve You here below.

2 Corinthians 12:4-11

God knows-was caught into Paradise and heard things that are not to be told,
that no mortal is permitted to repeat.
On behalf of such a one I will boast, except of my weaknesses.
But if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth.
But I refrain from it, so that no one may think better of me than what is seen in me or heard from me, even considering the exceptional character of the revelations.
Therefore, to keep me from bing too elated, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, to keep me from being too elated.
Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would leave me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong.


With prayers
