1 Corinthians 1-4

Prepared For Those Who Love Him

1 Corinthians 2:9-12 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Prayer:

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." The Jews request a sign, the Greeks seek wisdom, but it is not through the wisdom of men that one can know God. Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? And is not the foolishness of God wiser than men, and the weakness of God stronger than men? Christ crucified is the wisdom of God, but to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness; but to those who are called (both Jews and Greeks) Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Thank You Father, for calling us into the body of Christ. You have chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the mighty. You have chosen the things which are not to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in Your presence. Blessed are we who are in Christ Jesus. He became for us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Let us not glory in men, or in our own strength, but let we who glory, glory only in You, O Yehovah, our God!
