Today is the commemoration of Samuel.
Today's readings are Psalm 51.1-8, 2 Samuel 12.1-25, and 1 Corinthians 12.1-13.
The opening of 1 Corinthians 12 is very divisive. This should not be so, as we read in verses 4-7 that the Holy Spirit gives gifts to people as he desires, to accomplish his purpose for the good of his people. How do we look to the Spirit? Do we want to exalt ourselves or to exalt Christ? Do we want to build ourselves up or to nurture others? May we have grace to seek God's best, the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation in others with all we do. Would we like to see the Holy Spirit work among us? Let us have the mind of Christ, who humbled himself for us.
