Friday // Sept 7 :: 2 Corinthians 13

Welcome to the weekend! I ran another 3 miles last night in the dark. That was weird.

V5 is very powerful. "Examine yourselves to see if your faith is really genuine. Test yourselves. If you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you, it means you have failed the test." My mind immediately went to Psalm 139 "O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me." Then later ... "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offens you and lead me along the path of everlasting life." No one knows if your faith is genuine or not ... just YOU and the LORD. But, Paul makes a case that WE can know, too, by observing the POWER that is in your life.

Is the power of God evident in my life? Am I dependent upon that power?
