For Reading and Meditation: 2 Corinthians 1:1-11
We continue meditating on our Lord's second Beatitude: "Blessed [or happy] are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." The word "mourn" has reference to more than just sorrowing over the death of a loved one; it includes all those experiences in life where we may feel crushed, broken or sorrowful. I feel...

HOW many times has our God delivered us, from how many dangers, in how many ways; and He who hath delivered, doth deliver, and in Him we trust that He will yet deliver us. He delivered us from spiritual death, by the operations of His Holy Spirit, and from eternal death, by the sacrifice of His Son. We were dead, but we are now alive unto God, through Jesus Christ our Lord; and He who delivered from the greatest evil, spiritual death, will not refuse to deliver us from any lesser danger. Let...

Paul had a narrow scrape with death in the province of Asia. We cannot be sure exactly what happened, but it was so serious that if we had asked him, "Is it going to be life or death?" he would have said, "Death."
Most people whom God uses have had a similar experience at one time or another in their lives. Biographies of great men of God record marvelous deliverances from disease, from accidents, from personal attacks.
Sometimes God uses this kind of experience to get a man's...

We had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should
not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead. (2 Corinthians 1:9)
You know that those who are not the Lord’s
people are not alive to the fact that they are dead. Death is not the great
reality to them until they come to their body dying. But in their ordinary life
when things are going on and there is...

His eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. (Mark 8:25)
You and I, dear
friends, individually, and if we belong to a company of the Lord's people, that
company, will only make progress toward that full, ultimate end of God in Christ
if we have a spiritual vision of Jesus Christ. Vision is essential to progress.
Is it...

Read MoreWe were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. (2 Corinthians 1:8 ESV)
The Lord Jesus said "I am the true Vine," and
it was prophesied of Him that He would tread the winepress alone. The Cross was
His winepress. How He was pressed in the Cross! He was crushed and broken, but
out of that breaking has come the Life which you and I have, and...

Corinthians 3:5)
We go through times of trial
and test under the hand of God, and it is so easy to get into that frame of mind
which says in effect, 'The Lord does not want us, He need not have us!' We let
everything go, we do not care about anything; we have gone down under our trials
and we are rendered useless. I do not believe the...

Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in
ourselves but in God who raises the dead. (2 Corinthians 1:9)
We shall not be able to raise
ourselves any more than we can crucify ourselves, but we must recognize that the
Lord's dealings with us are with that in view. In order to display the power of
His resurrection, He will...

Read MoreWe were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead. (2 Corinthians 1:8,9)

information. We really only...

For Reading and Meditation: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
