“If I must needs glory, I will glory of the
things which concern mine infirmities.” 2 Cor 11:30
Catch
the perspective Paul testifies to, he glories in what God has done, not on what
He will do.
Paul
found his strength, testimony and glory in the numerous afflictions God had
faithfully brought him through. This fueled his faith and witness for God and
kept him encouraged for tomorrow knowing God has the final say in all trials we
face.
Christians
are prone to focus on what they fear or the desired outcome they want rather
than what they have been given and delivered from. This creates a consumer
Christianity mindset that if we are getting from God we find glory in God.
Be
cautious in letting your glory in the Lord to be based on what He’s going to do
rather than what He has done. Rejoice “of
the things” God has done. This is your testimony that allows others to
see God’s favour (Grace) in His children.
In
doing so, you’ll find that what concerns you today will tomorrow be one “of the things” He’s done for you… again!
Live
(testify) in a way that allows others to see the goodness “OF” God in you!
