Daily D – 2 Corinthians 3:5

2 Corinthians 3:5
It is not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God. (CSB)

It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. (NLT)

Corinth was a church that loved celebrity preachers. (See chapter 3.) They also highly esteemed the significantly gifted. (See chapters 12-14.) Paul reminded them that it is neither the gifted nor the gifts that matter most. What matters most is the Source.

God is the source of qualified and gifted leaders. He is their Creator. He is the One to whom they are each accountable. Spiritual leadership depends neither on natural abilities nor unearned characteristics. Spiritual leadership depends completely on God and how he leads those he places in positions of leadership.

Every leader with spiritual responsibility must hold this conviction as a core conviction. It is unwise to follow any leader unwilling or incapable of acknowledging this truth.

I will trust God to provide the competency necessary for what he calls me to do.

—

Our Father, I trust you to lead me and to provide for me what I need to accomplish your purpose for my life. Amen.

Daily D – Hebrews 4:15-16

Hebrews 4:15, 16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Psalm 25:8 The Lord is good and upright;
therefore he shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

Daily D – Philemon 15, 16

Philemon 15, 16 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave — as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
