Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

December 2



1 Corinthians 9-11
The apostle is giving instructions to a church that has lots of problems.  One can almost feel the tension that exists.  It would seem that there are those who are selfishly concerned about their own lives, placing themselves above one another, and causing dissension in the process.  Division is the word of the day.  Indeed, when we have a lack of concern for others there will be division.  Unity is only accomplished when we are willing to put our own desires behind us so as to demonstrate love and concern for others.
