2 Corinthians 1:7-9

close up of an open book with sunlight

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort. For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life. Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead


Trials can press us beyond our own strength, but they are not without purpose. In these verses; Paul explains that suffering teaches us to depend not on ourselves, but on God who raises the dead. Hard seasons strip away self-reliance and deepen trust. When we feel overwhelmed, God invites us to lean fully on Him. What feels like weakness can become the place where faith grows strongest. Trust that even in suffering, God is shaping endurance, strengthening hope, and drawing you closer to His sustaining power.

 Faith Isn’t a Feeling

2 Corinthians 5:1-10; Our Heavenly Home

For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent,…
