“It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
1 Corinthians 13:6-7 NLT
Our society has become one that seeks its own direction, truth and fulfillment. Evidence of this is the notion that all things can be replaced. We have become a throw away culture. We don’t fight for relationships but give up on them to include marriage. We don’t invest in our spiritual lives as we should but like to shop around for the brand of Christ we feel most comfortable with. Human life means little anymore as we throw away lives with little or no concern.
The Word tells us we should be people that seek real truth and rejoice when such truth wins. We should be people that never give up, never lose faith and are full of hope. How in this world setting can we be such people? We fill our lives with the only real truth- God’s Word. When we are fueled by the word we can find true wisdom not passing fads. We can be strengthened by God’s strength and purpose, not rely on our own limited power and faulty wisdom. We can have hope because we are told of the coming future events and we are victorious.
Paul’s description of God’s love is not only the model of love for us all but answer to our issues and problems by revealing the how to be successful in God’s eyes. The greatest power in all creation is our God and he is true love!
In Christ
