YET

Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 1-4

"I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds to those who are on the road to destruction. But we who are being saved recognize this message as the very power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 NLT

Reading this verse reminds me of one of my absolute favorite words in the world...YET.

It's powerful.

It's potential-packed.

It's hope-filled.

This verse tells us that.

The message of the Gospel sounds like a crazy one until God opens the eyes, ears, minds and hearts of the one needing to hear it.

For those of us who have accepted this gift of salvation, we don't understand why anyone wouldn't want it. Why they wouldn't accept it for themselves.

It's only because God hasn't revealed it to them YET.

He hasn't broken their hearts to accept it YET.

He hasn't allowed all the puzzle pieces of their lives to fall into place so He will receive all the glory YET.

He hasn't broken down their proud minds YET.

He hasn't spoken to them personally and intimately YET.

So keep praying. Keep believing. Keep trusting. Your part in this is not over YET.
