The Kitchen Table Devotional
2 Corinthians 1 Day 2
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; 7 and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:5-7
Ever walk into an intense conversation? That’s what’s happening here. There can be a lot of feelings in the air during an intense conversation. Sometimes we have to do the “right” thing, the “God” thing, rather than the “people” thing. Don’t be afraid to follow God; those feelings, they help us understand what we’re facing but faith helps us understand what we’re doing. One ends in vanity and the other in victory.
