SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 2:11-16

¹¹ Who knows the thoughts that another person has? Only a person's spirit that lives within him knows his thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.¹² Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but we received the Spirit that is from God so that we can know all that God has given us.¹³ And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom but with words taught us by the Spirit. And so we explain spiritual truths to spiritual people.¹⁴ A person who does not have the Spirit does not accept the truths that come from the Spirit of God. That person thinks they are foolish and cannot understand them, because they can only be judged to be true by the Spirit.¹⁵ The spiritual person is able to judge all things, but no one can judge him. The Scripture says:
¹⁶ "Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Who has been able to teach him?" — Isaiah 40:13
But we have the mind of Christ.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, it’s amazing that You have every star in the heavens named; You control the universe without the aid of people’s wisdom or technology; and if all humankind ceased to exist the universe would still be in the perfect order in which You created it. Yet You purposed that we would have an essential part in learning about and caring for Your creation just as Adam tended the garden and cared for the animals. May we good stewards and thankful servants as we consider that You are mindful of us, that You actually delight in us, and that You rejoice over us with singing! You truly are a refuge for us in times of trouble as we place our trust in You. We give You thanks in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH---
