1 Corinthians 1:1- “Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ
Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes.”
Interpretation: Paul is writing a letter to the church in
Corinth. He addresses himself as an apostle of Christ Jesus and brings up that
it is the will of God. It was the will of God for me to be his servant and
soldier of Christ Jesus just as much as it was his will for Paul. I have been
praying since I came to Costa Rica for God’s will to be done in me everyday. I
don’t know what his long-term plans are but I know I am supposed to be obedient
to him day by day, and when I walk in joyful obedience his will is completed in
me. I have done a lot of things out of my own fleshly desires and strengths but
when I act outside of God’s will my actions turn back to the dust from which
they came.
Application: I will memorize Romans 12:2 by tomorrow in
order to strengthen my walk in God’s will. (Romans 12:2- “Do not conform any
longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good,
pleasing, and perfect will.”)
