Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In First Corinthian’s chapter 3 today we see Paul chastising believers for their (in the flesh) divisive and childish behavior (vs 1), and also encouraging them that their (in the Spirit) pursuit of eternal things will be highly rewarded (vs 14).
Q. Have you ever sacrificed friendship or unity to align yourself with a “better clique”, or tried to team up with the most sought after group, leaving others behind for the sake of your own popularity and glory?
Q. Have you ever elevated somebody beyond what they deserve, and then boasted in the fact that you were on their squad and partnered with them so that you could be elevated too?
🙏 Heavenly Father thank you so much that we can openly confess and repent for our immature, glory seeking, worldly perspectives and failures toward you – Please help us not to rob our leaders and mentors of their dignity by putting them on a pedestal and giving them a place that is reserved for Christ alone.
🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today for your atoning sacrifice and finished work on our behalf – Please help us all to realize that you are enough to fully satisfy us, and you alone are worthy of all glory and praise…
✝️ “So let no one boast in men for all things are yours, whether leaders, or the world, or life or death, or the present or the future, all things belong to you and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.”
1 Corinthians 3:21-23
