Sunday, August 20th: Psalms 105-106; 1 Corinthians 3 ~ Emma

Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is Psalms 105-106; 1 Corinthians 3

“Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,” - Psalms‬ ‭105:5‬

Remember all He has done for us. The miracles that have brought us happiness, and the judgements that have shaped us into the people we are now. All of His works are wonderful and work for us for the good.

1 Corinthians 3:18-20
18 Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say,

“He traps the wise
in the snare of their own cleverness.”[d]
20 And again,

“The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise;
he knows they are worthless.”[e]

We hear so many who think they are wise, through the media and the media itself. Here we read something that is calming and reassuring, God is the only one who is truly wise, we would be wise to follow Him.

1 Corinthians 3:6-8
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.

A good reminder that it is God who works in people's hearts, not us. But we are still responsible to do our part - to sow or to water. We can't shirk our responsibility but we also can't take credit for God's work. That said, we also aren't responsible for people failing to respond to our sowing and watering.
