SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
THOUGHT: We’re hampered by what we don’t know. I can be so darn sure of myself one moment, then completely embarrassed the next as I realize my knowing was not based on all the information; I took a hard stand on bad info. Sometimes I’ve not just embarrassed myself, I’ve hurt others because I was so adamant about whatever. A little lesson in humility I’ve learned over and over.
It’s not a bad idea to approach our faith with a little humility too. God is still mystery, however much we know, have seen, have experienced. I think that’s why Paul keeps coming back to love – it’s one hard stand we can take and never be wrong about.
PRAYER: Oh God, help me be more persistent about loving others and you than I am about being right.
