God is good all the time. 9/20/15


Day 261- Reading the New Testament in one year.

2 Corinthians 12:1-10

1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know--God knows. 3 And I know that this man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows-- 4 was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. 5 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say. 7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman

Compatible with His life September 20th

“And let the peace of Christ arbitrate in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” COLOSSIANS 3:15

Hearing the Lord and being one with His speaking is the same as being compatible with His life. Indeed, following the Lord in our daily life is a matter of always remaining compatible with His life. As regenerated believers we have Another life in us that has another feeling and another consciousness. As we experience His life, we discover different kinds of responses within us that are according to His life. These responses tell us how to remain compatible.

If we do not remain compatible with the Lord’s life in any area of our living, we will sense an inward awkwardness and lack. If I do not let the peace of Christ make the decision in my heart when I am tempted to engage in argumentative talk, at that moment I am not compatible with the feeling or registration of the Lord’s life within me. As a result of not remaining compatible, we feel the effects within ourselves. We may sense that we are at odds with the Lord. Even we do not feel quite normal in our demeanor or inward posture.
