2 Corinthians 10 -- Monday, 9/8

Today, read 2 Corinthians 10 on your own at least one time. As you read, make notes in a notebook or in the margins of your Bible. Record all of the insights God gives you. Don't read my remarks until you have first done this yourself.

If you are doing this at work and don't have easy access to a Bible, or maybe you are at home but don't have a NLT Bible, you can read almost any version at www.BibleGateway.com.

If you don't know what the colors or the format mean, read the three introductions to this blog. They are linked on the left hand side of this page.

Here are the insights I wrote down along with the verses they go with...

-----

10:8 (NLT) I may seem to be boasting too much about the authority given to us by the Lord. But our authority builds you up; it doesn’t tear you down. So I will not be ashamed of using my authority.

I must be very careful as I use any authority I have that I always do so to build others up.

-----

10:18 (NLT) When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.

Lord, please let me always have a humble spirit. Never let me boast or minister in arrogance and pride.

Don't forget to spend time in prayer... CHAT...
