1 Corinthians 4: 12 and we grow weary from the work of our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure
Paul is talking about the disciples. He continues to say that they speak kindly, even when slandered. They are being treated like trash. The people in the church are tired of waiting for Paul to return. He has sent Timothy to them, and he hopes to come soon to straighten out the arrogant people of the congregation.
I am inspired by the devotion Paul speaks about. To persevere when weary, to bless and speak kindly while you are slandered and ridiculed, to endure through persecution, that is true service to the Lord. I want to feel that kind of strength in faith.
Prayer: Lord, make my faith strong. Guide me to follow You every day in every way. I am Your servant. Thy will be done in my life, today and every day.
Amen
