1 Corinthians 3 - Praying God's Word

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

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~”
