2 Corinthians 2:3, My Joy Is the Joy of You All

2 Corinthians 2:3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

The Apostle Paul sought to encourage and seek a right way for the church in Corinth by his writing. It is his prayer and desire that the faith of God’s people remains steadfast. His desire is that they experience spiritual progress and victory in the trials and temptations that came their way. It is his joy to see the church thrive spiritually. He says, “my joy is the joy of you all.

Thank God for the hearty devotion of God’s servant for His people –  Proverbs 27:23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. 

May the Lord strengthen His people with joy and gladness. Amen.
