In that process, I've been focusing on what God
has done for me and couldn't wait to share some insights from 1 Corinthians 1:26-2:10. I'm soooo glad He enjoys
showing kindness to His daughters as we seek Him!

We're to remember what we were like before God
saved us through Jesus. (1:26) Some of us avoid this exercise completely, and
several of us have gotten SO GOOD at this assignment that we try to gain extra
credit by belittling ourselves. Right? I still cringe over my past, but I cannot
afford to stop there.
Reading further, God's Word is clear - we
are to celebrate what He has done. So, let's see some celebration
today, ladies! How great is our Father's ability. How massive His love
toward us! How beautiful His mystery which He reveals to us. (1 Corinthians
2:9-10)
- FOCUS
ON GOD, who chose to save me, and who reveals His great mystery to those
who seek Him Boast in HIM and leave the rest behind! (1 Corinthians
1: 27-31)
- Paul
(the "great apostle") did not appear to
this Corinthian group with anything showy. He simply shared
God's story. (1 Corinthians 2:1) So, too, we don't have to worry about
"capturing people's attention" with anything
"spectacular." As we've recently seen with Tim Tebow, the world
knows a true and honest believer when they see it.
Abba, you are so beautiful. Thank you for loving
me and gracing me with so many blessings. Thank you for releasing me from the
past - from all condemnation, even from yesterday when I was ugly toward people
I care about. I ask that you give us women the heart to chase after you,
giggling as we play that age-old game of hide-and-seek. I know you want to be
found, and you do delight in your daughters. We are yours forever. In Jesus'
name...
