2 Corinthians 6:1
As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it.
Life Lesson
Today’s word (Word Of Reflection Daily) begins before Paul says to the Corinthians in essence to live in such a way that when people see and hear them they see Jesus instead. Further, that believers should live in such a way which would not hinder anyone from finding the Lord nor give reason (strong or lacking in substance) for rejecting Him. It is here wherein Paul instructs believers to not reject God’s message.
In pondering over today’s passage the one thought which comes to mind is I am no different and probably less immune than the Corinthians in bible times. Actually, with more distractions today from rapid technological advances such as the internet and in social media, changes in values (not for the good) and moral decay it is very easy to see how and why this is happening. Not once, or once in a while but perhaps more often than we would want to admit. One only has to compare TV shows today versus shows back in the 50’s and 60’s. Case in point, it’s been told that Elvis was filmed above the waist on the Ed Sullivan show because his hip movement was deemed to vulgar!
Hence, my take away today is remembering God’s message, believing it with all my heart and accepting it as truth. Further, realizing the need to meditate on His word more/more often and realign my life with His will and His way knowing temptations today are far greater and distractions much more intense than ever before.
I so thank God for free will. That He did not create us to be “robots” But because of his love, and His spirit, I have in my heart, I want to serve him, in love. I CHOOSE to obey, to seek him, and to do things, his way, for He is the way, the truth, and the life. I thank him, and love him, for it is a gift. Accepting his truth, is love……thanks for this good word brother. Elena
