2 Corinthians 12:1: It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
Today we hear testimonies from men and women about their conversions. Generally the testimony is a remarkable conversion. We don’t often hear about the “ordinary” conversions. The thing which I note in a testimony is the place the Lord Jesus occupies. Too often the story goes on and on about the person and what he did and how he lived in sin and how remarkably he changed, while very little is said about the Lord Jesus. Sometimes one wonders whether the Lord Jesus was really needed or not. He gets very little praise and very little glory in most testimonies I hear. 1
Personal Application
- Read Galatians 1:11-12. What did Paul receive from the Lord that he has shared with us? How often do you share God’s word with a friend?
Godly Encouragement
- But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. –1 Corinthians 15:10
