As I was reading 9:23-24 my mind went to two passages where Paul quoted Jeremiah’s words to the Corinthian believers; 1 Corinthians 1:31 and 2 Corinthians 10:17. I know the temptation to boast, and recently God has been teaching me how to redirect any accomplishments I see in my life to him. It is not easy. As a matter of fact it is easier to say nothing at all then to redirect the focus to God’s hand at work. But I need to point everything positive back toward God and his work in not only my life but also in the church. So I keep on practicing.
It took me about 16 minutes to read this passage.
