Daily Bible Reading – September 2023, God’s Saving Word: Wisdom

DAY 28 OF 30

September 28

Introduction

Paul reminds the Corinthians that, when he first arrived, he did not use eloquent words to preach “God’s secret truth” because the message of Christ’s death on the cross was of paramount importance. Paul contrasts the world’s wisdom with “God’s secret wisdom” and explains the role of God’s Spirit in revealing God’s truth.

Scripture Reading

1 Corinthians 2:1-16

Today’s Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 2:5

Your faith, then, does not rest on human wisdom but on God’s power.

Reflect

How does Paul describe himself in verses 1-4? What does he say enabled him to deliver his message to the Corinthians? Reread verse 2. Why is Jesus’s death on the cross central to Paul’s message? What do you think is “God’s secret truth” (verse 1) and “God secret wisdom” (verse 7)? What does Paul say about God’s Spirit (verses 10-16)? In what ways has God’s Spirit enlightened your understanding of “God’s secret truth” and “God’s secret wisdom”?

Pray

Sovereign God, you are the source of all true wisdom. Enlighten me with your Spirit so that I may grow stronger in faith day by day, learning more and more about you and trusting in you and in your love. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

1 Corinthians 3:1-23: The apostle Paul is concerned that the Corinthians are not living like people who are led by God's Spirit.
