I can’t find a good material

Today is the day that I thought every passages that I read is somehow no meaning or I do not feel sharing.  I just marked read all these devotional messages in my inbox after browsing them quickly, I tried searching this website for some inspiration but I don’t see interesting topic.

I want to put quotation made by man but honestly I’m avoiding this, as sometimes they are twisted or if not can be twisted.  If God’s thoughts / words can be ridiculed by many, what more are the human perspective.

I also have this tendency of not just quoting good verses because it calms my emotion.  If you will notice most of my post are the entire chapter unless I want the verses quoted in purpose for inspirational messages (e.g. Proverbs).

But God is always good.  I thought that I really have nothing to share with you today but Paul’s Message of Wisdom is what I truly feel today which I think worth sharing.

When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. 2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. 4 And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:12-22

12 Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. 13 Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.

14 Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.

16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

19 Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. 20 Do not scoff at prophecies, 21 but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. 22 Stay away from every kind of evil.
