Readings:
Job 4
I Corinthians 2
Focus:
I Corinthians 2:12: "And we have received this Spirit from God, not the spirit of the world, so that we may know all that God has lavished on us."
God has given us his Spirit for many reasons, but one of them is kind of amazing: so that we may know all that he has lavished on us. His Spirit is utterly different from the spirit of the world, and the wisdom of his Spirit will seem very different from worldly wisdom.
But besides this, his Spirit will let us know everything that God has lavished on us. Not just provided for us. Not just given us. But lavished on us! When we give our lives to him, and open ourselves to his direction, he lavishes blessings on us.
We may still have hardships, and troubles of various kinds. Our lives may not suddenly become rosy and perfect. But we will have blessings lavished on us; that is certain. I know this; I have experienced it in the midst of illness!
God lavishes good things on us. We can be sure of that.
