Should Be Obvious

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Dear Lord please lead us into understanding and recognizing the obvious as we mix and mingle with Your Children while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world and please show us how to change the difficult into easy to see and how to make others see that which is so obvious as love overcomes hate and good overcomes evil, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.


KJV:*

1Co 8:1 ¶ Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

1Co 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.


1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.


In the Commentary of  Doddridge

Verse 13. And thus upon the whole it appears, and I hope you will remember and consider it, that  there now abide these three most excellent graces, faith, hope, and love; each of them far to be preferred to the most shining gifts about which you can contend. But the greatest of these graces {is} love; which most directly transforms us into the image of God, and which shall continue to exert all its influence, when faith is superseded by sight, and hope by enjoyment.
