Historical background
It is the letter Paul wrote again when problems persisted even after First Corinthians. In a situation where false teachers were attacking Paul's apostleship, Paul confesses that God's power is revealed through his own suffering and weakness. It is Paul's most personal letter.
What to watch for
Apply to your own life, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness' (12:9).
Feel the depth of devotion for the gospel in the list of sufferings Paul endured (chapter 11).
Consider what the ministry of reconciliation (5:18-21) means for you today.
Where this book falls in the reading plan
In the app
Reading is where it starts, not where it stops.
Today's passage and devotional are yours to read here on the web. The app takes it from there — a place to write what stayed with you, receive a reflection on top of it, and watch the days add up.
A reflection arrives on what you wrote
Write what stayed with you, and a paragraph comes back — read against the passage you just finished. It does not lecture, and it does not grade you.
Your devotions gather into a record
What you write and what comes back stay on the calendar. Your streak is counted for you, and any past devotion opens again whenever you want it.
Today's verse on your lock screen
The widget puts the day's passage up each morning, so you read it once more in passing without opening anything.
160 topical series and a reading plan
Start wherever you are — 'weakness', 'waiting'. The one-year Bible reading plan, a Proverb a day, and the anonymous prayer box are all in there too.
