Daily Walk Through the New Testament

December 5

Read 1 Corinthians 15:50-16:24

The old song says, “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen. Nobody knows my sorrow.” While it may be true that each of us feels our own personal suffering in a way others cannot, we each face trouble. Paul knew his share. He said, “There are many adversaries” (16:9).
The word adversaries comes from a root word that means “to be put up against” — in opposition. We can expect difficulties, but we can also expect God’s grace! With the Spirit’s help, we can respond to the troubles of life with faith, courage, strength, and love (16:13-14).
