Yielding to God’s Plan
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. —2 Corinthians 1:5
Scripture reading: 1 Corinthians 12:12–27
Chastening brings or places upon us fruits unto holiness. It is in these dark places where we see no help that we cry out to God. He will deliver us so that we can help the tempted. It was said of Jesus that He was “in all points tempted as we are” (Heb. 4:15). Where did He receive strength to comfort us? It was at the end of “vehement cries and tears” (Heb. 5:7)
God takes us to a place of need, and before we are barely aware of it, we are full of consolation toward the needy.
We are members of one another. When God’s breath is upon us and we are quickened by the Holy Spirit, we can pour into each other wonderful ministries of grace and helpfulness. Amen
