November 30th
READING: 1 Corinthians 1:3-9
“… just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you — so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."
1 Corinthians 1: 6-9
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” This was a common greeting in the time of Paul and the early church. It’s a shame we’ve gotten away from such a warm and wonderful greeting. To know that we are blessed by God’s grace should fill us with peace and assurance of His love.
Next Paul thanks those at the church in Corinth because of the grace given them in Christ Jesus, for the way they’ve been enriched by the Holy Spirit and have testified to others of Christ Jesus. We too should thank God for each other and for the spiritual gift he has given us that we can share with one another. Our encouragement of fellow Christians is important, especially when life presents challenges and trials as we find in today’s world.
We can find peace and be strengthened in our faith knowing that God, through his Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, will keep His promises and remain faithful to us.
Dear Lord, bless this day and let the knowledge of your gift to us strengthen my faith. Help me to encourage someone today who may be poor in faith so their heart may be filled with the wisdom of your grace and the warmth of your peace. Amen.
