1 Corinthians 2:1-5.
I find these verses to be incredibly relevant today. It seems like our westernized faith has caused temporary amnesia when it comes to relying on the power of Holy Spirit. Are we trusting in the power of God or the wisdom of mankind to seek and save the lost?
This Scripture challenges me to focus on joining God’s way of doing things rather than expecting Him to follow humanity’s way of operating.
In my prayers I constantly ask God to help me rely on His power alone in the mission field. I ask Him to show me what it looks like to let the Spirit infiltrate the fabric of reality—in whatever culture I find myself—so that men and women trust in God's power rather than human wisdom.
Lord, help us rely on You alone in our mission fields. Show us what it looks like to be completely led by Your Spirit rather than our wisdom. Amen.
