DAILY READINGS: Gen. 31; Job 42; Matt. 17:14 to 18:14
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1 Corinthians 2:12
The carnal Christians at Corinth were focused on the visible and the material. Is it any wonder that the apostle speaks of “things” over 60 times in the epistle? However, the true and enduring things are those precious and manifold blessings our God gives us. They can only be perceived by the child of God, remaining invisible to the natural eye. They are treasures in heaven, yet enjoyed upon earth—beyond human wisdom, beyond corruption and decay. Dear child of God, do you truly realize what is yours? —Rick Morse
Since from His bounty I receive, such proofs of love divine;
Had I a thousand hearts to give; Lord they should all be Thine. –Stennett
