Today’s Bible Reading: Job 39, 40; I Corinthians 13, 14

Scripture Focus:

I Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

Observation:

One can be a great speaker, or one can say all the right words—beautiful words, even—and lack love for the ones being spoken to. This kind of talk—talk without love—is as worthless or hollow as metal striking against metal.

Application:

It’s not so much what I say, but my motivation behind the words, that counts. People can feel the difference. When I talk to my family, or the Scrapper’s Guide team, or people in the church, or strangers, can they sense the love I have for them? If I don’t have love, can I ask God to channel his love through me so they see the love of God?

Prayer:

Father, God. You’ve said love trumps everything. It’s impossible to have that kind of love without you. May your love flow through my words today in such a way that the people I speak to feel loved.
