1 Corinthians 10 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read 1 Corinthians 10.

Meditate on verse 31.

Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do,

do all to the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10 is rich with truth.  Here are some of the facts I find fascinating.

The Rock in the wilderness from which the Israelites drank water was Jesus (1 Corinthians 10:4; Exodus 17:6; Numbers 20:11-12) Ponder on that fact as it will give you new insight as to why God did not let Moses enter the Promised Land after he had struck the Rock, Jesus, twice when God had commanded him to speak to the Rock.  The Rock had been stricken once (Exodus 17:6); He was not to be struck again.

The Old Testament, filled with examples of what makes God angry, was written for your instruction, so you do not crave those evil things (1 Corinthians 10:6-11).  Read and heed God’s Word!

God creates a way of escape especially for you in every temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13).  Fix your eyes on Jesus and His path of righteousness, and flee from sin.

These are just a few of the precious, life-changing truths.  Reread the chapter and ask God to reveal the other treasures He wants to share with you.

Pray 1 Corinthians 10:24, 31, and 33 over yourself and those for whom you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Lord, help us not to seek our own good,

but that of others.

Whether, then, we eat or drink

or whatever we do,

let us do all to the glory of You, God.

As we do things to please others,

not seeking our own profit,

but the profit of the many,

let them be saved.

For the sake of Your Name, Jesus~”
