“Examine Yourself” (2 Cor. 13:5)
Honest inward-evaluation arising from a deep desire to be more and more pleasing to Christ every day is an essential discipline of the Christian life. The self-satisfied Christian is an anomaly.
“Is God Enough?” (2 Cor. 12:7-10)
When we begin to turn every petition over to God with full assurance that He will do what is best rather than what is desired – that’s when we settle into His peace. And the longer we walk with Him, the more often we thank Him that He hasn’t given us every dumb thing we’ve asked for.
