For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.
2 CORINTHIANS 7:10 AMP
Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Today’s scripture is an admonition from Apostle Paul to the church at Corinth. The things of this world that make us grieve should point us to the Most High God.
Though we may grieve at some point in life, it should not be like we are hopeless and have been condemned to die hopelessly.
Apostle Paul says that even in the moment of grief and sorrow, we should see it as an opportunity for God to be glorified and for us to consolidate our salvation in Christ Jesus. That is what we stand for as children of God, every situation we find ourselves in should have to end up pointing people to Christ for salvation.
May the Lord be our strength and may His grace be sufficient for this beautiful day, may His presence be with you throughout your life in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
