BIBLE MEDITATION:
1
Corinthians 12:31 - "But covet
earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way."
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Satan always gives the
best first and the worst last. For example, Proverbs 20:17 says, "The
bread of deceit is sweet, but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with
gravel." With Satan, it always starts sweet, but it does not end
that way. Satan is a counterfeiter and a deceiver, and he is guilty of false
advertising. He doesn't show the drunkard in the gutter covered with flies. He
doesn't show the addict shaking uncontrollably from another night of detox. He
doesn't show the ruined lives from sexually transmitted diseases. He always
gives the best first and the worst last. Jesus gives the best last.
ACTION POINT:
Do you have a teenager
in your home? Then call a homeless shelter or prison to see if you can bring
your teen for a tour.
