LISTEN TO TODAY’S READING
TODAY’S SCRIPTURES
1 Corinthians 2:2-5 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS LESSON
- The God thing is the distance from where you started (on your spiritual journey) to where you are today.
- Don’t judge others based on outward appearances. You may dramatically underestimate or overestimate the power of what God has done in their lives
- God looks at the heart, His judgement is not based on where we are but based on how far we have come!
- Stop comparing yourself to other people.
- Let Him perform the God thing in your life.
- Let God transform you from the inside out.
