Today’s reading in 1 Corinthians was 1 Corinthians 3.
Here’s what grabbed me:
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:10
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds.
Observation:
God enabled me to begin the work, and my work is just the beginning. Others are adding to it. And each worker needs to be diligent in his work.
Application:
I see two things in this: That my work may be the beginning, just a part of the big picture, and also that my work sets the tone and strength for the rest of the work.
In both messages, I believe God is reminding me to work with humility, yet also pull my weight as a member of His team. I need to lean on Him, looking to him for guidance and then do my best.
Prayer:
Lord, thank you for this reminder to look to you for guidance and wisdom in all areas of my life. You will help me to work strong and accomplish your plan for me… but only if I seek you and follow you.
I am just one tiny piece… but my contribution needs to be strong in all I am asked to do. Please, Lord, help me to weed out what I am not to do, so that I can be strong in what I am to do.
