Today we are reading 2 Corinthians 4. In this chapter we read about the challenges and hardships of serving Jesus. The keyword for this chapter is “a-na-kai-no-o”. The definition is “to renew again”. “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16 Paul speaks of the very real struggles that we face as we share the message of salvation with the world around us. What are the struggles you face? How does God renew you day by day? The focus is not on the hardships but on the renewal. That is what will carry us through—focusing on God, His Word, His love and His mercy. May God bless you as you faithfully serve Him! Pastor Tim
