3giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, 4but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, 5in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger, 6in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, 7in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; 9as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punished yet not put to death, 10as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.
Paul expresses, no mater what your circumstances, as servants of God, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, in the word of truth by the power of God we live!
Yes, no mater what your circumstances!
When Joseph was sold into slavery, put into prison he didn't give up his faith in God.
When Job lost everything his faith didn't waver.
When Paul was imprisoned, he continued his love for Jesus and wrote about his faith making many rich.
What about you? Do you trust God completely in your life no matter what your circumstances are?
Be like Joseph, Job and Paul;
Trust God in everything and all circumstances, rejoice and make many rich teaching salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessings, David
