One Great God for All

1 Corinthians 1

Inspired thots

It is SO reassuring to confirm that :
1) I am rich in EVERY way in Christ

2) I have Every SPIRITUAL Gift required

3) God will keep me STRONG to the end

4) God will keep me BLAMELESS on the day of JESUS' return

God is God of All ~ FOR all.
He wants Unity amongst His children ~ agreement amongst His children is important to be Perfectly UNITED in Mind and Thought. (v10)
So, where I can, I should submit to the church authority to keep the unity of the body. Yes, Lord, forgive me for failing to do so all the time. Forgive me for being wayward in certain areas, but thank God for prompting and revealing to let me get back into your ways.
Thank you for helping me recall Jesus' submissive behavior ~ paying taxes; being baptised ~

Salvation is for ALL ~ it is up to each one to receive it by faith (or foolishness as the world may term it)
The world only sees the death of Christ as weakness whereas it is actually strength.
~ strength in being humble to put aside own preferences for others' sake (for my own case too)
~ strength in being patient to wait for the better things to come (victory and power)
~ strength in overcoming death and gaining eternal life! The final victory!

How GREAT is my GOD!v25 'For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.'
It is wiser to get right on God's side.
I am exactly what verse 26 says: not wise by Human Standards, not influential, not of noble birth
But praise GOD! the cloud has a silver lining ~

v27 God CHOSE the FOOLISH things of the world to Shame the Wise;
       God CHOSE the WEAK things of the world to Shame the Strong.
       God CHOSE the LOWLY things of this world and the DESPISED things (things that ARE NOT),
                             to Nullify the things that are
so that NO ONE may boast before Him.

Through Christ, I am Righteous, Holy and Redeemed. Thank you Lord.
