ASLC Devotions - Thursday

2 Corinthians 7:13 In this we find comfort.
In addition to our own consolation, we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his mind has been set at rest by all of you. 

There was a conflict in the church at Corinth. Paul sent his deputy Titus to help take care of the situation and to solve the problem. The problem was resolved and the people were one again, worshiping together in unity and in joy.

That's where Paul found comfort - not in winning, not in getting his way, not in any of those things. Paul found comfort because Titus' mind was set at rest, because the people were worshiping and working together. A burden shared is a burden lightened and a joy shared is a joy multiplied. Paul shared in Titus' joy who shared in the joy of the people of Corinth. Their joy was multiplied. Share in someone else's joy today. Be of one mind and share the joy.

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
