Feelings of Inadequacy

“…but our adequacy is from God.” (2 Corinthians 3:5b)

            The God who gives you the task will equip you for that task.  If it is commanded, He will make a path.  The same God who is the Architect of the Universe and Planner of the Thousand-Year epic history that led to Jesus at Calvary can fit the pieces of your life together, too.

            It is okay to feel inadequate… you aren’t adequate.  He is, though.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: 2 Corinthians 3:1-10

Questions to ask:

  1. How is Paul feeling as he writes today’s passage? What is his mood?
  2. What are the central themes in Paul’s preaching and teaching which are being emphasized, or how are the central themes in this epistle being emphasized in today’s reading?
  3. How does our reading show Paul’s people skills, especially how he handles conflict?
  4. What in this passage would change the lives of the believer(s) being addressed? How does it make me a better disciple?
  5. How does this show the “good news” of the gospel? How can I share that with someone else?

This year, #Biblebites are following the life and writings of Paul.  If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2023-vision
