I Am – God Is
I Corinthians 3:4-7
"For when one says, 'I am of Paul,' and another, 'I am of Apollos,' are you not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants, nor he who waters is anything, but God who gives the increase."
One of the things that separates the carnal from the spiritual is focus. The carnal Christian says, "I am," while the spiritual person says, "God is." Paul recognized that he and Apollos had nothing to boast about because anything they accomplished was because of God's gift (see vs. 5). The carnal Christian is focused on himself and what he does; the spiritual Christian is focused on God and what He does.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Carnality exalts self; spirituality exalts God.
Have a "God is - God does" day. Love you.
