Please read 1 Corinthians 3.
Meditate on verse 19a.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God.
Paul wanted the Corinthians to change their minds. They lived in a society that idolized Greek
philosophy. Paul wanted them to know the
wisdom of God. They were impressed with
and wanted to impress people. Paul wanted
them to please the Lord. They thought
they were so wise, yet Paul could only figuratively give them milk to drink and
not solid food as he taught them because they were fleshly, infants in Christ,
not growing up in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:1-3).
Examine your life.
Where are you on the spiritual growth chart? What do you love, this present world or Jesus
Christ? Who do you desire to please,
your selfish desires or the Lord? It is
time to do away with childish things and grow up in all aspects into Christ (1
Corinthians 13:11; Ephesians 4:15).
Pray 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 over yourself and those for whom
you are standing guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“Lord, please help
_______________
and me stop being
people of flesh,
infants in
Christ.
Give us the desire to
receive
not only the milk of
Your Word but solid food.
Take away our desire to
be fleshly.
Let us cease from
jealousy and strife.
Let us walk as
followers of You,
In Your Name, Jesus~”
