“What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:7b
In addressing the Church at Corinth (one that in many ways reflects ours today), of the many issues he will deal with, Paul first begins with their Immaturity and Pride. In order to correct their Quarrels, Jealousy, and Strife, he asks them this very pointed question in Today’s Verse!
In the same way, we need to consider the weight and significance it has for us in our Day. Truly, what do you have that God has not given to you? Physically, Mentally, Spiritually? Is there anything that has emanated just from you? NO!!! It Is All From God! This does 2 things; it totally Humbles us, and, it gives God all Glory! May God open our eyes to see this more and more each day!
