For today's verses, I want to focus more on the call for self-examination.
It is a call Paul makes on the last chapter of this book,
and it is a relevant call then as much as it is now. We are given this golden
opportunity for a pause – in a pandemic nonetheless. It has personally given me
so much time to reflect. The world slowed down and most of us found ourselves
separated from our usual routines and distractions. It is such a blessed time
to self-examine, to go deep into ourselves, and hopefully find Jesus living in
the depths of our hearts.
The verses today remind us that even if Jesus was crucified,
He lives by God's power – the unimaginable blessing of allowing our weakness to
turn for God's purpose and glory. I will always be in awe as to how God never
conforms to the ways of this world and has always set the path for the truth.
He sees the glory in what may the world see as weakness, and he sees life that
can come from the death of Christ. His love sees us through, and I will always
be in awe.
And finally, I have always sought the blessings of others
upon me. There is such anointing in saying "God bless you". There is
power in God's Word, and I find it strengthens further when it is said upon you
– "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
I wish this upon you, brothers and sisters. Rest assured you
shall be in my prayers today, and I ask the same of you – that may God be
glorified as we pray for each other.
