“Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:7
” The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
“The foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.” 1 Corinthians 1:25
As a born-again Christian we have complete access to all good and great gifts from our God in heaven. We have at our fingertips all tools that we need to live a justified and peaceful life that shows the ways of Jesus. Throughout thousands of years God has chosen the weak of the world to show his great and prosperous strength. There was David and Goliath, Moses, Peter and Paul, and Gideons’ army to just name a few. There are those in this world who will never understand the strength and the love that our Lord Jesus poured out on us when he was sacrificed on that cross. But you and I know the power that he set forth when he died and rose again. Jesus had to become weak in order to become strong again. He was beaten, spit upon, made fun of and persecuted. He was stripped naked and placed high above those who watched him die a slow death, but then he returned with glory and strength. It was through his weakness that he became strong and will make us strong. Our God has a plan. He has a plan that includes all who believe. He uses the weak to show the strong just how foolish they are in their ways. You and I must reach rock bottom in this world in order to truly come before God and humbly ask for his salvation, forgiveness and healing in our lives. We must push aside and eliminate our worship of all things from this world that we consider valuable and place our trust and faith in all the promises he has given us. When we do, we too will go from the rags of this world to the riches of heaven. Our God loves us more than we can understand. He is more powerful than our ability to understand. He is stronger, wiser and more loving than you and I can ever be. But with God’s sacrifice of his only son, we become a part of him. We are able to join his family and stand strong with a faith that never waivers. It is through that faith and belief in his truths that we once again become rich. He will bless our every move, and we will again live lives as kings and queens, but this time it will be through the blessing of our Lord. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
