Apr 14 - 2 Corinthians 1:10

On God we have set our hope

that he will rescue us again.
2 Corinthians 1:10

In this passage, what does “again” mean?

“Again” implies, of course, that God has rescued us before. But what was his previous rescue(s)? And what is the rescue you are waiting for again?

Stop … think about that!

How has God showed up in your past to rescue you? And what is the rescue you’re waiting for again?

I like to tell people that life is sometimes like driving in a car for the very first time. Remember that? Remember the uncertainty and anxiety?

Whatever is out our front window is racing at us at one hundred miles per hour. It is worry, indeed!

But look at the top center of that windshield. There is a little tool there – a rearview mirror. While what’s in front of us looms large, there is something front and center that reminds us where we have been.

Our strength when facing an uncertain future often starts by looking back. When we can remember that God rescued us before (and again and again and again), then it’s easier to trust that he WILL rescue again again!

In Christ’s Love,

a guy who read 2 Cor 1, and found Paul telling of

the crushing affliction they endured in Asia,

but while stepped on, he wasn’t destroyed

and that gives him hope again and again
