1 Corinthians 1:3-6 (New International Version)
3. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving
4. I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. 5. For in him you have been enriched in every way—in all your speaking and in all your knowledge— 6. because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you.
What a wonderful promise from God Himself! We will be enriched in everything we speak and in knowledge. His promises are for us because of Jesus. Have you ever been in a situation where it was not clear what should be said? I am so thankful God hears and answers prayer , I experienced this very thing this past week and very quickly I asked God to give me the comforting words to speak. We should always be ready with a word of encouragement, but sometimes things happen really fast and it is hard to know what to say. This is just one of the many scriptures that tell us we can be ready to speak the words that might be the difference between life and death to a person. Let's always be ready because of this special grace given to us in Jesus Christ. I pray blessings on your special Lords Day. Also be thankful for the freedom that we can still go to church and worship our Lord!

True, encouraging words. Thanks for posting. I'm heading off to church already encouraged.
Amen! Beautiful scripture verse that gives assurance and promise to His own. I so agree that we can always be ready with the message of Christ's love and sacrifice...God will always prepare us and give us grace when our paths take us to someone who needs to know the Lord.
Beautifully said!
God bless,
Mary
