ahhh im a little late this week but i was gone out of town this weekend.
title:
people are just people!
best:
18-21 18Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"[a]; 20and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."[b] 21So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours
this just affirms to me that my God is just andHis judgements are just. no man is above any other, even tho in life many would like to believe they are. in my life i tend to believe that im inferior, but to God we are all the same and His love for us is the same, we just have different jobs!
challenge:
1-3 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
shamefully alot of times i feel like paul is speaking directly to me in the passage. i have been a christian for a long time and sometimes feel like i still need to be hand fed, some of the things that cause divissions in life are so meanial and of no importance and yet i let them hold me down, but, i am only a man and i fall short daily, but our father in heaven is always faithfull to reach down and lift me back up, if i only allow him to do so.
summary:
this chapter speaks to me of the equality of man. God doesnt esteem one man higher than another. we are all called out, each has a purpose and a job. and that job is the most important one b/c its the one needed at that time, we should not worrie about what others are doing only about ourselves and what the Lord has required us to do!God will search our hearts and our motives and i hope when i come out on the other side i will be a better person, testimony for Christ and christian in general. that is all God bless you ppl.!
