March 10—We Understand Our Own Hardships

Read

2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Reflect

No one goes out looking for hardships. We try to avoid at all cost financial problems, relational issues, and physical ailments. Yet, it is through those very hardships (sufferings) that God wants to work in us. One way is to give us a heart that is soft and receptive to others who are going through what we have experienced. We don’t go out shopping for trials, but we can be sure that God will bring good from them and enable us to provide comfort for others who may be less prepared to deal with their sufferings.

Engage

Read today’s Scripture passage. Say or write it out in your own words, considering the following questions:

· What does it say about God?

· What does it say about us?

· Is there a promise to trust?

· Is there a command to obey?

· How will I apply this Scripture to my life?

· Who will I show that I care by sharing this truth?

Memorize

Now read this week’s memory verse, Romans 12:15. Spend a few minutes working to memorize it.
