Read 1 Corinthians 1:1 through 5:13
The exquisite interior of the Taj Mahal in India is inlaid with precious and semi-precious gemstones. Imagine how its beauty and value would have diminished if the builder had jammed wood, hay, and straw in among the jewels.
If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light (1 Corinthians 3:12,13).
To erect the best possible spiritual structure it is essential to daily learn and apply the truth of God’s Word, receive and insert jewels of wisdom by listening to Him in prayer, and add silver by living each day through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Following the world’s so-called wisdom is like applying wood, hay, and straw to a Christian’s development. When the day of testing comes, all that is not Christlike will be burned away. However, God’s wisdom erects a fireproof building that can withstand the test of God’s judgment.
Prayer Suggestion: Holy Spirit, help me recognize when I am listening to the world instead of to You.
