... but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are 'called', both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 1:23
In Paul's letter to the Corinthians he tells them that it is God himself who called them to share in the life of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. He encouraged his followers to join together and have faith in the power and wisdom of God. That encouragement fell on 'deaf ears' to most of the Jews and Gentiles.
In todays' world, and with a better understanding of God's teachings, I have learned over time no matter the possible outcome of life's cruel or great events, putting my trust in His word is what brings peace and strength.
To give up my own control and turn it over to God. What a challenge - what a leap of faith!
