Today’s Scripture

“My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom. For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic, Jesus, the crucified Messiah. I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words. The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit. For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in his almighty power. However, there is a wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature. It’s wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned. Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery. It is his secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory.”         

1 Corinthians 2:7

Today’s Thought

Stop expecting loyalty from people that don’t possess the character of loyalty in their own life. We set ourselves up for disappointment when we expect people to be as loyal as we are to others.

Today’s Confession

Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to see the truth about disloyal people in my life. Help me to always walk in love but to be aware of those who are not loyal and to guard against the byproducts of disloyalty.
