Observation

What did Paul think of the Corinthians’ attitude? What was his charge (16)?

Application

Do I sometimes think that I am better than others? Do I live in such a way that I can honestly and correctly tell other believers to imitate me?

Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father, Keep me from an attitude of arrogance and conceit and division. Help me to live in such a way that I can instruct others to imitate my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Pray to BLESS!
