2 Corinthians 1:8-10 “We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us…”
—Have you ever felt like the trouble you’re facing is insurmountable? Paul felt that way. He said in the above passage, “We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death”
Wow! He had some troubles.
His solution- Trust in the Lord. Here’s a quick look at his logic-
There is a succession of thought in verses nine and ten:
a. God has the power to raise the dead
b. God has seen us through troubles before
c. Therefore, He has the power to deliver us again.
Let’s face it, if God can raise the dead, God can do anything. Trust in Him to see you through whatever difficulty you’re facing.
