We conclude another month of Daily Prescriptions. It doesn’t seem possible that tomorrow will begin the December series.
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you (2 Corinthians 13:11).
When Paul spoke of being perfect, he didn’t mean sinless. He meant to be complete, to repair that which is broken, to be equipped. Think of it. Paul ministered tirelessly to the Corinthians believers. He challenged them, corrected them, commanded them, convinced them, cherished them, charged them, chastened them, as well as comforted them.
He concluded this letter to them by summing up everything he had said. He told them good-bye, grow up, be encouraged, and be everything that the Lord wants them to be. “Do the right thing, even if it is not the easy thing” is basically what Paul exhorted. Sounds like good advice for us today. Isn’t it?
Thank you! Thank you for the privilege of coming to you and your friends every day. Lord willing, Tomorrow, Lord willing, we will begin a new month together.
