Daily Bible Reading – May 2020 God’s Life-Giving Word of Faith

DAY 24 OF 31

  

May 24

Introduction

Paul reminds the Corinthians that he and his co-workers have gone out of their way to work hard and not cause problems and that they have spoken the truth. He concludes by warning the Corinthians against pagan influences and encourages them to live in awe of God. 

Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7:1b

Let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean, and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God.

Today’s Reading 

2 Corinthians 6:1—7:1

Reflect

Reread verses 8-10 in which Paul describes his suffering. (You may wish to compare these verses with 2 Corinthians 4:8-12 from the May 19 reading.) How is it possible for a follower of Christ to be happy in times of suffering? How does Paul’s view of life differ from how many people today think about happiness and wealth?

Pray

Powerful and merciful God, teach me to be your servant and to speak your message of truth. Clothe me with righteousness today, that I may be empowered by your Holy Spirit to do your work. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are suffering

Tomorrow’s Reading

2 Corinthians 7:2-16: What Paul hears about the church in Corinth cheers him up.
