HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE
(formerly Today's Verse)
by Phil Ware
November 7, 2004
I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in
Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way -
in all your speaking and in all your knowledge.
--1 Corinthians 1:4-5
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
The apostle Paul was amazing. He is writing one of the most
problematic churches and yet finds reasons to give thanks for
them. First, he is thankful for them because Jesus died for
them. When God extends his grace to others, how can we not do
the same? Second, he recognizes the areas of their abuse are
also a reason to give thanks - they may have distorted it, but
when reined in to honor God, these gifts could bless their
church. Even though he has tough words to follow, Paul's
example reminds us that a child of God is something to be
cherished, even if they have problems.
MY PRAYER...
Gracious Father, give me the heart to see reasons to be
thankful for all of your children. I confess that it is often
so easy for me to view others based on how they view me, share
my theological opinions, or how much trouble they cause me.
Forgive me, for I know if you had done the same with me, I
would have never been one of your children. Please help me
rejoice in your children. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
