May 16
Introduction
Paul begins his second letter to the Corinthians with a formal introduction that names him and Timothy as the ones sending the letter and God’s people in Corinth and Achaia as the ones receiving it. This greeting is followed by Paul’s thanksgiving prayer to God for comfort in times of great suffering.
Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:4
He helps us in all our troubles, so that we are able to help others who have all kinds of troubles, using the same help that we ourselves have received from God.
Today’s Reading
2 Corinthians 1:1-11
Reflect
Reread verse 8. At the time of Paul, Asia was the name of a Roman province in the southwest part of what is now Turkey. Paul does not explain what kind of suffering he had experienced in Ephesus, but it probably included torture and the threat of death. What kind of suffering do you see in the world today? How is God present amid great suffering?
Pray
Loving God, whenever and wherever your people suffer, you suffer with them. Empower your followers to aid and bring comfort to those who are suffering. Open my eyes and heart this day to those in need. May your love and justice reign throughout the world. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Relief workers and first responders
Tomorrow’s Reading
2 Corinthians 2:5-17: Paul encourages the Corinthians to forgive an offender.
