1 Cor 3:9 (Harvest Time!)


Welcome God today with this LIFE Group Devotion (archive, Facebook).

For we are God's co-workers; you are...God's building. 1 Cor 3:9 (full readings)

Pat nuggets: We are God's co-workers...wow! Although He could certainly plant/harvest without our help, He invites us to be part of His mighty work. Contemplating this helps bring the humility needed for God to help us tear down the world walls that we allow (decisions) to slowly form (apathy) around us (God's building). In humility, let us cry out for God's mercy and grace (strength). Once we let those world walls crumble in God's hands, the healing begins, love grows, and God can welcome us as His co-workers. That metanoia process is described by this inspiring song (Healing Begins): "So let 'em fall down. There's freedom waiting in the sound. When you let your walls fall to the ground. We're [Trinity] here now!" "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." Matt 9:37

Faith Quote: "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world...then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Rom 12:2

Through Christ our Lord,
Pat
