The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 21:3 (NLT)
3 The LORD is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 31:16-18 (NLT)
16 Let your favor shine on your servant. In your unfailing love, rescue me.
17 Don't let me be disgraced, O LORD, for I call out to you for help. Let the wicked be disgraced; let them lie silent in the grave.
18 Silence their lying lips— those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly.
The Word of God for encouragement:
1 Corinthians 6:2-3 (ESV)
2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?
3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
1 Corinthians 6:15-16 (ESV)
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh."
1 Corinthians 6:19 (ESV)
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
My observation:
There are so many who are like the people that Paul admonished in his letter to this first century church. It got my attention how many times he said to them, "Do you not know".
Are there areas in your life where you need to know more about what God's word says? There are some basic things about the Christian life that every believer should know and do. Let's get into God's word, and be blessed.
2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so thankful for the word of God, and for the power that it has to inform and transform our lives. Father God, help us, by thy grace, to be strengthen with knowledge and power to know the word of God, and to obey the word of God. In Jesus name, Amen.
James 1:22 (NKJV)
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
--
1 Corinthians 1:2-3 (HCSB)
2 To God's church at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus and called as saints, with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord—⌊both⌋ their Lord and ours.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
