Be Comforting Minister of the Lord
Paul opens his second epistle
to the Corinthians the same way
he began his first one: by establishing
his authority and documenting
the source of his revelation.
Whereas his first letter expressed
thanksgiving for what God had
done among the Corinthians, Paul’s
second one praises God for what
He has done for Paul and Timothy.
Lord, we will Comfort Others:
All Praise to God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the
source of every mercy and the
God who comforts us. He comforts
us in all our troubles so that
we can comfort others. When
others are troubled, we will be able
to give them the same comfort
God has given us (2Cor 1:3-4).
For all of God’s promises have
been fulfilled in Him. That is why
we say “Amen” when we gave
glory to God thru Christ (v19-20)
Thanks be to God, who always
leads us as captives in Christ’s
triumphal procession & uses us to
spread the aroma of the knowledge
of Him everywhere (2Cor 2:14).
Lord, thank You for the times
You have comforted me. I know
that You have comforted me so
that I can do the same for others.
This world is full of people who
are hurting. Make me sensitive
to those I meet who need Your
touch of comfort. Keep me an
open vessel through which Your
life, love & comfort can flow. Amen
Lord, Thank You for Your great
and precious promises. Thank
You for reminding us that Jesus
is the “divine Yes” the affirmation
of all Your promises. Help me
experience Your love behind
every promise as I trust in You.
And help me pray with confidence
because I know that not one of
Your promises will ever fail. Amen.
Lord, You have captured my
heart with Your love and mercy.
Thank You Lord for changing
my life by giving me life.
You Lord are the victor in the
great spiritual conflict of the ages.
You deserve all praise, honour
and glory. Help me Lord to open
my mouth and speak powerfully
and effectively for You. Amen.
