Evening Meditation 4-3-16
When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us. We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside. 6But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. 2 Cor. 7:5,6
Who would God use you to encourage in the Lord tomorrow? What could happen if you don’t? What could happen if you do?

Morning Direction From Scripture 4-3-16
We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry.4In everything we do, we show that we are true ministers of God. We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. 5We have been beaten, been put in prison, faced angry mobs, worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. 6We prove ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, by the Holy Spirit within us,c and by our sincere love. 7We faithfully preach the truth. God’s power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense. 8We serve God whether people honor us or despise us, whether they slander us or praise us. We are honest, but they call us impostors. 9We are ignored, even though we are well known. We live close to death, but we are still alive. We have been beaten, but we have not been killed. 10Our hearts ache, but we always have joy. We are poor, but we give spiritual riches to others. We own nothing, and yet we have everything. 2 Corinthians 6:3-10
As you read this passage what does it say about the proving ground of our Christianity? When do we most stand out as Christians? How does that challenge you personally?

Evening Meditation 4-2-16
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”
17 Therefore,
“Come out from them
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.”
18 And,
“I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty.”
This Scripture is often used to advise people of faith not to marry those who do not believe. Reading the context of the verse what else might Paul be referring to as a yoke?

Mid AfternoonMeditation 4-2-16
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So we make it our goal to please him,whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 2 Cor. 5:7-11
How are living by faith, not by sight and fearing the Lord related?

The Road Through Romans Omnipresence
Today we come to the conclusion of our discussion on the “invisible attributes of God” as outlined in A.W. Tozer’s book The Attributes of God, and referenced in Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
If you have missed any of our previous discussions they can be found on THE ROAD THROUGH ROMANS PAGE.
Today we are speaking about the OMNIPRESENCE of God. That is the quality of God being everywhere at once.
Here to help us understand this a little better is Buffalo
Which of God’s attributes is the most difficult for you to fathom?

Midafternoon Meditation 4-1-16
We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide our hearts to you. 12 We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. 13 As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also. 2 Corinthians 6:11-13
What are some of the ways you hold back God’s affection from fellow Christians?

Afternoon Meditation 3-31-16
It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of[] faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 2 Cor. 4:13
Our faith should be pressing us to speak about Christ to someone. Who Is your faith pressing you to talk to today?

Morning Direction From Scripture 3-31-16
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side,but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 2 Corinthians 4:7-12
