Knowledge

4June 2012          

1 Corinthians  8:1-3 Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." "Knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. If any one imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if one loves God, one is known by him.

Sometimes loving someone is to also to say no, many are the times because we love someone, we give into what they want, yet what they want will hurt them. In the same way people want to serve God and they think that to do so they must study to be ordained into the clergy. The reality is that we have all been called to serve Jesus Christ where we are in the time we are there. Some people like to serve God by studying and writing exams, learning more about the experiences of others, rather than gaining the experience through being obedient and doing faithfully what God has called them to do.

It is not what we know that counts but whom we know when it comes to being in relationship with someone. I know a lot about the Queen of Great Britain, but I have never met her and I do not know her. Thank the Lord when it comes to Jesus I know Him because I have met Him, I know Him through His Word, I know Him through a personal experience of meeting with Him in the spirit, I know Him through the experience of Him working in and through me to the glory of Our Father.

Be encouraged today to faithfully serve Jesus Christ where you are.

 

David

 

Point to ponder: Knowledge without experience stays in the study.

 

Question to consider: Are you serving Jesus where you are?
