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 figuratively give them
only 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 3:1-3).
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
1Corinthians 3:1-3 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a
faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD,
please help 
and me
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~”
