2 Corinthians 10 – Boast in the Lord

There’s a significant change in tone as we come to Chapter 10. Maybe some new information or report has prompted Paul to have to defend his apostolic ministry. It seems that some other, more impressive speakers have arrived and while Paul’s letters are strongly worded the man himself appeared less impressive. But comparison is so often unhelpful. Paul refuses to measure his ministry against others. He will only measure himself against the tasks the Lord has assigned (v13). Whether our church is small or large, our gifts many or few, all that actually matters is obedience to Christ where we are.

Lord Jesus, obedience to you is liberating in so many ways. Forgive me for comparing my output with others. Help me to serve you with grace and diligence where you have placed me.
