2 Corinthians 11:25-33 ~ escaped




George VI has just found he has terminal lung cancer and has not told his family.

The Song is "Bleak Midwinter" and isn't bleak due to George's lovely heart.

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty —
Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, whom Cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom Angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.

Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But only His Mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part,
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.


Psalm 68:19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

What are the Blessings of being a Child of God, believer in the One He has sent?

2 Corinthians 11:25-33


25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food,[a] in cold and exposure. 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant?

30 If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. 32 At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus in order to seize me, 33 but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands.



The King James Version is beautiful to compare:

2 Corinthians 11:25-33 King James Version (KJV)

25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

30 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

32 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

33 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.


Yesterday - we spent hours with our adult son, having his first job, and having fever, virus and sinus infection. Hours to find our good doctor in our area was full. Hours to get him in to the P.A., vastly too many hours to get the meds and the insurance wasn't taken for the meds. Three trips for one set of meds and many phone calls on hold. Solved. Overcome.

Our son was listing to one side today with fever and we fed him and put Food, Vitamins and Gatorade down him. There is a newness to life to have sudden adult employment. When we moved here 19 years ago, The Dallas Morning News was doing a series on Debt for young working families. The way cars are turned in and the new note isn't explained to be longer and more terrible. The $800 Child's Easter Dress. The expensive, costly late at night dinner to relax after a busy, double working day.

A day to teach Overcoming.

There is an art to getting out of trouble. God Loading us with Benefits. Daily.

Conflict? No thank you. Except ...


Almost every book ever written has conflict. John 21 tells us all Conflict is about God.

So accordingly, we spent the day - unraveling the trouble with the meds and the charges and dealt with gracious and kindly people. Returning an ebay car part through Paypal. And taking some time remembering Exodus 14:14 is true - God fights for us and we thought about every escape and Good Will from every obstacle.
A life of conflict and life of Daily Blessings.

What did Paul find in the Holy Spirit to find God Overcomes?


Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.


We are leaving death out of our eternity and this is every day.


Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.


Turn your situations upside down to see the other side of the mirror. Sometimes just wondering this will lead you down a new path of Chosen Joy. God of the Possible.

See...

Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.


Sometimes to tell worried thoughts, fine worry (like the Disciples did and didn't get fired) until you are tired of fuss and worry. And in the permission to find peace. Sincerity finds Peace.

Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ


Romans 8:1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus


Romans 8:14
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.


Favor and Blessings truly belong to Father God. God is our shield and the lifter of our head.

Romans 8:31
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?




God of our freedom

1 Corinthians 15:3
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures


God our Father truly wants us to thrive like the Children of Israel in His Wondrous Blessings.

1 Corinthians 15:1
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which 

you have taken your stand.



Jesus said there are goats and weeds and enemies - like Zombie movies. Overcome.

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.


Love covers all. God of Love. Love one another. God made His own Example - God did go forth when David was mad at Him over God's Plans for the Ark. God went forth blessing someone else. Love. God Does.

1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak in human or angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal


Yes God blessed others when David didn't want the Ark. Not sulking, God went forth to Bless.

1 Corinthians 12:12
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.


Life temporary is bothersome - Jesus told us. Life Perpetual...

1 Corinthians 2:9
However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived – these things God has prepared for those who love him"


Consider how many Books Paul wrote empowered with the Holy Spirit. These are only two Books teaching us Overcoming. Living with Joy, Peace, Truth and Love.



Abba, Father God,

Daily You Load us with Blessings. We will Fight the Good Fight with Love and Sincerity.


Psalm 124, A Psalm of David - who if David lived with Faith - we can as well!

6Praise the LORD,

Who did not let their teeth tear us apart!

7We escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers

The snare is broken, and we are free!

8 Our help is from the LORD,

who made heaven and earth.


We will give Thanks Giving for our fleas and our flees. We will turn and bless someone.

We will count all the times we have encountered elbows out conforming to the power of the world and escaped.


We will remember diligent prayer and steadfast Love God Gives. We will remember all the burdens God has lifted from us.


And we are Blessed. So Blessed we pray Blessings upon others. Have the Joy of knowing God will care for those we Love. God's mission is the world through Jesus Christ. God's here to save the lost.


We Bless You for helping Elliott and Dee. Their families are so glad to have the Healing of God.

And in Jesus we are found as His. Amen!

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
