1 Corinthians 1: 4 I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.
A good quote for the beginning of a November challenge: from now to Thanksgiving, I will start each entry with a thanksgiving statement. Today I am thankful for the gift of faith I received and for those who share it with me.
Paul was thankful for the people of the church in Corinth. He is concerned about their division however. They are starting to follow different leaders within the church. Paul reminds them that they all follow Christ. He doesn't want anyone to be a follower of Paul or anyone else.
Grace is the greatest gift we have ever been given. I know that I am not worthy of it; neither is anyone else. Yet we try to pick it apart. We look to see all the ways we are more worthy than our fellow man.
Prayer: Lord, show me how to bring Your people together. We come up with so many ways to divide ourselves into groups. I would like to see more Christian brotherhood. Let me know how You would have me to promote that.
Amen
