1 Corinthians 2
Lynell McCrary
I encourage you to read 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, with emphasis on verse 5: “…so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.” What does it take for our faith to “rest…on God’s power?” Does it take painful circumstances, like finding ourselves at rock bottom?
Think back to the most recent time when you recognized the Hand of God moving in your life. In my life, I tend to recognize God’s Hand more after the passing of circumstances than in the midst of tough times.
As we learn more about God’s character, we learn to recognize His voice, intentions and activity in our lives. When we recognize Him better, we see Him at work. Seeing Him at work in our lives does not necessarily mean that things will go our way, but it does mean that He is always there and will never leave us.
His faithfulness is not contingent on our recognition of Him. He doesn’t know how not to be faithful. It is who He is.
How is God showing you His faithfulness? Could it be as simple as giving you breath of life?
Did you know? For Lynell, a great vacation takes place at any beach that has water sports and unlimited frozen lemonade…spending each day with her family, playing in the water during the day and games at night.
