2 Corinthians 10:2, 7

3 Questions to Start the Day is part of the Abundant Grace Daily series of devotionals. Since God’s grace is so bountiful, how do you access it daily? This devotional unpacks the first three of Jesus’ Beatitudes. From each Beatitude arises a vital question for you to ask yourself at the beginning of each day, and to keep in mind at pivotal moments during the day.

When you give it all to God and go to bed, you stress less, sleep better and dream more. God is waiting to help you manage today’s challenges and experience a less stressful, more productive tomorrow. He will help you make the daily divine exchange that empties out the battlefields of your life—your worries for God’s weapons. Your worry does not fight off your enemies. But God’s weapons do.

In this 5-day study on 2 Corinthians, Christine Hoover guides you through one of Paul’s most personal letters to discover how God is the ultimate source of the strength and sufficiency you need. You’ll find that weakness is not a disqualifier or a flaw in our design. In fact, God shows Himself most powerfully in and through our fragility and vulnerability. We’re called, then, not to work harder or to hide our weaknesses, but to call upon God’s infinite resources and rely on Him.

We all face pain and suffering, but thanks to Jesus, we have the power not only to endure trials but to overcome them. In Him, you can get better, not bitter. Whether you’re new to faith or looking for a fresh way to connect with God, this 5-day devotional will encourage you with powerful truths from 2 Corinthians.
