40 Days of Prayer, Worshiping for His Glory 1 Corinthians 10:31, Week 4, Day 4
As we focus this week on our lives being worship to God, we look at a common and often overlooked verse from Paul to the church in Corinth. Paul speaks here of the lessons that the Corinthians can learn from their ancestors in Egypt.
We often cling to this late verse in the chapter and use it as an encouragement to walk in daily holiness to the Lord. We view this verse as an internal statement, one that keeps us focused on our practices as we weigh the checks and balances of our daily decisions. But I challenge us to examine the passage entirely to see what Paul intends. He begins this sentence with a conjunction. When we see the word “so,” we can expect that whatever follows is the effect of a cause stated previously. Returning to verses 23-30, we see what the “so” references—the past laws of cleanliness and the focus of evangelism at the table.
This has been powerful in my home as we have pursued the evangelism of the table. Around meals, we see growth, vulnerability, and laughter. The table is where we are to show others how we truly live for God. Would we open up our lives to intersect with the normality of others? Would we begin to evangelize and worship at the table? Jesus invites us to His very own table, so let’s be a beautiful representation of the gospel as we pray for our lives to be a worshipful witness.
REFLECTION PRAYER
Lord, continue to bring us closer to You. Would we walk in such a way that pleases You? Would You help us to be Jesus to those around us? Would they know us “as those that have been with Christ?” Thank You for this season of prayer. Allow us to have the courage to walk in the uncomfortable to bring You glory. Help us to be less consumed with the laws of our culture and more concerned about the evangelism of our rhythms. May our worship be pleasing to You. Amen.
