SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 2 Corinthians 11:16-21

¹⁶ I tell you again: No one should think I am a fool. But if you think so, accept me as you would accept a fool. Then I can brag a little, too.¹⁷ When I brag because I feel sure of myself, I am not talking as the Lord would talk but as a fool.¹⁸ Many people are bragging about their lives in the world. So I will brag too.¹⁹ You are wise, so you will gladly be patient with fools!²⁰ You are even patient with those who order you around, or use you, or trick you, or think they are better than you, or hit you in the face.²¹ It is shameful to me to say this, but we were too "weak" to do those things to you!

But if anyone else is brave enough to brag, then I also will be brave and brag. (I am talking as a fool.)

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, ignite within us the fire of Your Holy Spirit to be convicted of sin, comforted in our hour of trial, and zealous in our Christian service. We want to warm our hearts with the fire of Your Holy Spirit that is uplifting and filled with eternal hope, rather than the enemy’s fire that spreads destruction and ruin to all who are in its path. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
