O: As Christians, we are people born of this world, but our souls should not be of this world. We have been given new life through Jesus death and resurrection. Our Spirit from God should be talked about not with our own words, but those from God.
A: Later in Corinthians, we will read about our Spiritual gifts. Just having been blessed by our God and given the Spirit is a gift. I should be sharing this gift with others, using my spiritual gifts. In life, we will come upon people who don’t want to hear, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Whether verbally, through acts of kindness or service, showing others what God has done for us and what he promises for them is what we have been called for; it’s why we were given the Spirit.
K: Lord thank you for my blessings you have given me. I pray I continue to serve you justly, showing others your love through my daily life. For you, Lord, it for me.
"The rulers of this world could not understand the wisdom of God in Christ and so they crucified him. But as believers God has revealed to us, through the Holy Spirit, the wisdom of the cross. Yet, our limited minds cannot comprehend all of the blessings in store for us!
Imagine planning a surprise party for someone you love. Perhaps you would choose a place they’d like to visit, a gift they’d like to receive and their favorite foods. Now, you prepare this elaborate blessing to give them and you know they are going to thoroughly enjoy it. This is how God has prepared for us. He knows better than we do what we desire and enjoy, and we cannot even fathom what he has prepared for us. How does this truth encourage you today?"
