Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON GLORIES IN CHRIST
Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
1 Corinthians 1:31 (NIV)
Therefore, as it is written: "Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord."
There are many things to boast of in the flesh. People boast of their wealth, wisdom and might. However, these are not worth boasting of, since they do not stand the test of time.
The Lord commands that we glory not in wisdom, might and riches, but that we glory that we understand and know Him (see Jer. 9:23-24). This is because, in times of adversities, these things that seem to have power become nothing.
The Lord is everlasting. He exercises loving-kindness, righteous and judgement. He takes the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. He takes the poor to confound the rich. He takes the weak to confound the mighty. If we have anything to boast of in this life, it should be in the Lord.
Hallelujah!
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, Your are righteous and just. Father, upon all the wisdom, riches and might that You gave man, You gave us Your Son. In Him we shall glory for He makes us understand and know You. Amen.
