scripture:
"I AM the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. you shall have no other gods before me." (exodus 20:2-3, niv)
questions about the scripture:
what did GOD mean by "other gods"???
do you have other gods in your life???
my answers to yesterday's question:
to those whom God has called, both jews and greeks, Christ [is] the power of God and the wisdom of God.
(1 corinthians 1:24, niv)
why did paul call upon the greeks as well as the jews in this letter to the church at corinth??? the non-jews in corinth were greeks (aka gentiles), hence paul was calling upon everyone as was his mission to share the good news showing no favoritism.
memory of the day:
it's been an emotional day for me today... i know things have happened the way they have for a reason. i just pray that something bigger could happen to bring a situation full circle. in the past i have had to be pruned of "other gods". it hurt then but not as much as it is hurting now.
saying grace:
GOD, please???????
here am i; send me!!!
my GOD, in prayer of intercession, i in all humility lift up the following...
pat (GOD, YOU and YOU alone are the great healer; if it be Your will i ask that YOU pour your mercy on this dear man...)
