Trusting God’s Faithfulness: Reflecting on Paul’s Changed Plans (2 Corinthians 1:12-24)

Paul begins by assuring the Corinthians of his integrity. He lived by God’s grace, not human wisdom, and hopes they will one day boast of him as he boasts of them. He explains his travel intentions: to visit before and after going to Macedonia and then head to Judea. He questions whether his plans were made in a fickle, worldly way. Paul reminds believers that God’s promises are always a certain “Yes” in Christ. The Spirit in our hearts seals us and guarantees what is to come. Finally, he insists he delayed his visit to spare the church sorrow. He works alongside them for their joy, never lording over their faith, because it is by faith they stand firm.
