09/22/2024 – Day 091 – 1 Corinthians – Chapters 9 & 10 // 10:13: Trust God ; He will provide! / There is no valley so dark but He can find the way through it!
Previous one year cycle posts on this Day 091 were on : 05/29/2022 (9: 16 – 18 ; 10: 1 – 13 – “Danger of Falling” & 08/23/2020 (10:13 – Matthew Henry Commentary)
I don’t do this often, but I am going to repeat the Matthew Henry Commentary with a link to: “Top 30 Bible Verses About Trusting God” with a prayer about trusting God at the end!
From Matthew Henry’s commentary:
Backing up to 10:13 – “Though it is displeasing to God for us to presume, it is not pleasing to him for us to despair. Either our trials will be proportioned to our strength, or strength will be supplied in proportion to our temptations… Men may be false, and the world may be false, but God is faithful, and our strength and security are in Him. He is wise as well as faithful. He knows what we can bear. He will take care that we be not overcome, if we rely upon him. He will make a way to escape. There is no valley so dark but He can find a way through it.
And the link – let scripture testify to scripture, particularly when you are drilling down on one bible verse!:

Thoughts? / Reflections? / Questions?
Here are just some starters for fellowship and prayer for any verses in this day’s reading:
- What does the text reveal about God’s character?
- How has this reading generated prayer for you and/or us?
- What themes stand out to you in this bible study?
- How does our reading fit into the bigger picture (creation, the fall, restoration, etc.)?
- What other verse(s) jumped out at you like never before? Is it explainable at this point?
- Do you have any questions you would like to put before the group as to how to interpret any particular verse(s) in our reading. Let scripture testify to scripture: Share with us where you sense contradiction between passages elsewhere.
- What did you find convicting and inspiring at the same time? Share with us how the Spirit of God is working within you as a messenger, both within
and outside of our fellowship group.
- Share with the group how our study is calling or confirming to you a new mission to glorify God in our times.
Soli Deo Gloria!
