1 Corinthians Chapter 2

A chapter on wisdom. Who doesn't need more wisdom in this world? Wisdom to be a better parent, wisdom to be a better wife, wisdom to know what to say to your unchristian friend. There are so many things that we need wisdom for that, right now at this moment, it amazes me that more people are not grabbing the bible to try and get more wisdom. Seriously, why don't we try and gain more wisdom from the book that promises us wisdom through its readings and teachings? Is it that it is too easy? Too available?

The verse that jumped out at me today was "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him." Isn't this SO true? We will never be able to see, hear or be able to imagine the greatest that God has prepared for us. This is the truth and wisdom that we know and read.

God, I pray today that you provide me the wisdom that you provide in order for me to become the person that you have intended me to be. To take that wisdom and bring it into the other relationships that I have. With my children, my husband, my friends, my family and the girls and people that I am working with at church. Help me take that wisdom into the relationship with my Mother. Let me truly forgive her and love her but still remain unhurt by her ways. I ask for all of this in your sweet name. Amen.

1 Corinthians Chapter 1

I'm a little ashamed at how long it's been since I have journaled. There's really no excuse for this.

The verse that stood out to me this morning was "The person who wishes to boast should boast only of what the Lord has done."

This has been something of trouble for me in the past. I've been trying not to boast about the things that have been provided or the events that have occurred in my life. Instead I should look at it as if I do boast to just do it as a blessing that God has provided. It's not wrong to boast if it is done in His name.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for all that you have provided me. A beautiful family of little boys a, wonderful husband and all of the materially things that we own.....because of you. Lord, without you none of this would be here, none of this would feel as a blessing. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to know you, love you and have a relationship with you. Lord please give me the strength and wisdom to remember you in all areas of life. To never put you second over anything. Lord I also pray for safety over my husband until he returns. Keep him safe and protect him from all things harmful and evil.

I ask all of this in your sweet name!

Amen.
