S - 1 Corinthians 2:16b But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
O - Paul is talking to the Corinthians and telling them that he spoke to them simply because he wanted them to know Jesus not because of a good speaker or wisdom but instead by Jesus Himself. However, he talked to mature Christians with wisdom given to him through the Spirit of God. Because of the Holy Spirit we now have the mind of Jesus Christ.
A - What an encouraging and powerful thought to think that we have the mind of Jesus Christ. In order for me to have this mind of Christ, I need to continue emerging myself in His word and to talk with Him constantly. Just like any relationship, to be close to Christ and have His mind, I need to spend time with Him in fellowship and communication. This is also vital for me to pass this truth on to my children so that they too may have the mind of Christ.
P - God, Thank you for your Holy Spirit and for your word so that I may be close to you and know you intimately. I pray for your protection, guidance, and courage as I go about my day today. Help me to live a life that is pleasing and successful for you and to shun the life of mediocrity. I know that this life will be more appealing and attractive to others and will be a weapon to fight off the devil and also be a light that others want to follow and learn about you. Bless my family and me today.
