1 corinthians 4

was having quiet time with God and thought i'll share about what i read from God's word today...was reading about the stewards and ministers of Christ from 1 corinthians 4. paul told the corinthians that men ought to regard them as servants of Christ and as those who have been entrusted with the mysteries of God. We who have been given a trust must prove ourselves faithful. we should not care much if we're judged by others or any human court. in fact, paul said that even he should not judge himself. it is the Lord who judges us.

two impt reminders to me are...
1. we ought to be faithful servants of the Lord (1 corinthians 4:2)
2. we must not judge others' motives or service (1 corintians 4:3)

this just reminds me of how guitly i am when it comes to judging others. i'm one who's quick to judge others and once someone does something wrong and i find out, i tend to remember it and forget that he's not the only sinner. i, too, am one! tho it might be something else that i've done wrong...today's text has been a wonderful reminder, esp at a time when jonathan and i are trying to help this younger bro-in-Christ out with his bad habits. i just pray that God will help me not judge him and give me the strength to be forgiving and sincerely help him. tough...but i believe i can do all things thru Christ who gives me strength : )

oh yes dear, i hope u enjoyed yourself on your 1st day at school today! pa & mommy saw you at JP eh? haa... *hugs* may God bless you with wisdom and discipline as you go back to studying!
