Friday May 1^st- Walking in Wisdom

II Corinthians 7-encouraging one another through this life of trials and tribulations.

Life as we live it is not an easy one.  We go through many ages of life.  There are challenges with each age.  Yet the Lord does not leave us on our own.

   

II Corinthians 1:4-5 starts out with the comfort that comes from the Lord and that we are to share with others the comfort that we have been comforted from the Lord.

My focus is on verse :6 But God, Who comforts and encourages and refreshes and cheers the depressed and the sinking, comforted and encouraged and refreshed and cheered us by the arrival of Titus. [Amplified Bible]

Who is Titus?

*He was full affection and enthusiasm for the Corinthian brethren (II Cor. 7:15)

*He was effective, free from all sordid motives and shared in Paul’s spirit and example (II Cor. 12:18).

 

 *Paul considered him his brother (II Cor. 2:13)

*and his partner in Christ (II Cor. 8:23)

Have you ever gone through a time of depression, or were discouraged?  

Did the Lord send someone in your life to encourage and refresh you in your walk with the Lord?

Do you have a Titus in your life?  

Do you know someone who is strong in their faith, a sister in Christ?  

Do you seek out those around you who are depressed or discouraged? 

I saw this verse many years ago when I was going through a difficult time in my life and I asked the Lord to send me a Titus to encourage me and He surely did.  I remember it clearly and within a few moments the phone rang and a sister in the Lord felt led to call me and encourage me.  Have you ever had a Titus in your life?  Be a Titus to someone today! 

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.
