1 Corinthians 12 begins with the Apostle Paul penning for The LORD that He (and Paul) does not want the people of Corinth (or you and me) to go on being ignorant.
How would we today like a sermon to start off that way? Some of us would be okay with that as we do not want to be ignorant of The LORD’s Ways.
Verse 2. 2 You know that when you were pagans, no matter how you felt you were being led, you were being led astray to idols, which can’t speak at all. source
When we and they were pagans, before we received The LORD’s Salvation, no matter how we felt about it, we were being led away, astray from GOD toidols.
If we are not being led by GOD, we are being led AWAY from Him. It’s as simple as that — and we don’t need to go on being ignorant of that.
Without them, my view from my dining table is color in vague shapes.
Oh, I can see well enough to get around in familiar places but there is so much I miss this way. I am reminded of the man who went to JESUS for his sight.
Men walking like trees – is that what he said? See Mark 8:24.
Corrective Lens
That’s one thing earth man crafted very well. Albeit even these well-crafted lenses will not enable me to truly see my fellow man or this created world as I am meant to see. I need the CREATOR HIMSELF for that. JESUS. The True Corrector of my sight.
Has He begun to correct your sight?
1 Corinthians 13:12 New Living Translation 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. source
We are here tonight thinking it would be really good if the Body of Christ, the Remnant, would pray for Healthcare Workers losing their jobs because they made an informed decision about their own health care.
Could we, would we think about what we would need in their situations and pray earnestly for those things, that The LORD of Heaven will provide those very things to them?
And as we pray may it be that HOLY SPIRIT will lead those who can to reach out and help as He provides means and opportunity.
Matthew 24:12 New Living Translation 12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold.source
This is where we are but let us not despair.
Instead, let us pray and rejoice that HE has chosen this time for us to be co-laborers with HIM in these Last Days.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
