4 And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.
Dear Ones: There is no lack of people spouting off their opinions and wisdom about the times we are facing with clever and persuasive speeches. They are speaking earthly wisdom based on their experiences and their biasness. But their words cannot bring peace or comfort to our souls, because their true goal is to foment strife, chaos, and fear.
Christians are to follow Paul’s example to rely only on the power of the Holy Spirit. It is demonstrated in his writings. He rejected human wisdom (wisdom of the current culture) and relied solely on the power of God. Through the demonstration of the power of God, the teachings of Christ come alive. They bring comfort, peace, and deliverance.
Choose godly wisdom and reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit to carry you through these challenging days. Let the power of God saturate your soul as you go about your duties today. Remember, you are more than a conqueror through Christ Who loves you. Have an overcoming day in the LORD. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
