Okay. I have to chuckle. Context is so important. Did you read verse 14?
Daily Word: Love is a Choice, 1 Corinthians 13:7
Love works hard — love is purposeful. And despite what all the storybooks might say, love is a choice.
Daily Word: But, What About? Ephesians 6:2-3
“Honor your father and mother.” What does Paul mean when he says it is the first commandment with a promise?
Daily Word: Follow His Lead, 1Timothy 2:5
Context, again. Paul’s letter to Timothy — and us — is a reminder to pray and intercede on behalf of all people, including those in authority.
Daily Word: Requesting in Gratitude, Psalm 37:4
We all have desires, yes? But are these the requests we present to our Heavenly Father? I love that the translators used requests rather than desires.
Daily Word: Don’t Mess With GOD’s Kids, Isaiah 54:17
Has anyone ever said bad things about someone you care about? Probably. Were they true? Or partially true? More than likely. But because we love that person, and we truly know them, we’re going to come to their defense.
Daily Word: Follow the Thread, Psalm 18:3
The horn of salvation is symbolic of strength and God’s majesty. The symbolism begins as early as Exodus 27:2, when God commanded the building of the Tabernacle.
Daily Word: Power in Weakness, 2 Corinthians 12:9
Weakness is frowned upon in this world. However, for those followers of the Messiah Jesus, that’s where we get His power.
Daily Word: A Generous Heart, Luke 6:38
Understanding a verse’s full context is the difference between looking into the window of a beautiful home, and living there.
