    Today´s reading:
    OT: Job 1-3
    NT: I Corinthians 14:1-17
    Ps: Psalm 37:12-29
    Pr: Proverbs 21:25-26

    Today´s notable verse:

    “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.”

    Job 1:20 (NIV)

    Amazing that, in the midst of such suffering and loss, Job’s example is one of surrender to the soverignity of God. I wonder how often our response is even but a shadow of his, in the face of but a fraction of his suffering?

    So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.

    I Corinthians 14:12 (NIV)

    Here, Paul gives a great reminder that we are given gifts and abilities – in this case, specifically, Spiritual gifts – for the purpose of the edification of the church and to the glory of God, not for our own edification or glory.

    The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;

    Psalm 37:21 (NIV)

    Wow, ouch! Talk about a reminder truly to leave no debt outstanding…

    Today´s reading:
    OT: Nehemiah 9:22-38, Nehemiah 10
    NT: I Corinthians 9:19-27, I Corinthians 10:1-13
    Ps: Psalm 34:1-10
    Pr: Proverbs 21:13

    Today´s notable verse:

    19 Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.

    I Corinthians 9:19-22 (NIV)

    And again:

    Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

    I Corinthians 9:24 (NIV)

    And yet again:

    12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

    I Corinthians 10:12-13 (NIV)

    Some of Paul’s best writings are in this passage. Nothing really to add; his words are sufficient.
