Not to live in self-delusion

1 Cor 3:18 -21

There is no room for self-delusion. Any one of you who thinks he is wise by worldly standards must learn to be a fool in order to be really wise. For the wisdom of the world is folly to God. As scripture says: He traps the crafty in the snare of their own cunning and again: The Lord knows the plans of the wise and how insipid they are. So there is to be no boasting about human beings: everything belongs to you, whether it is Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, the world, life or death, the present or the future – all belong to you; but you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God.

“ALWAYS HOLD FAST TO THE LORD”  

“Always hold fast to Me and go deep within.” (Inner Word).

No matter what trials we face, inner or outer, and even if we are unable to perceive God’s presence in them, the Word urges us to hold fast to our Father. It is not our feelings that provide security on our journey with God through this time, but rather the Word of God and His will to guide us. We can absolutely rely on this. If we sincerely strive to live in a state of grace—that is, in harmony with God’s will—we can entrust ourselves to it without question or doubt.

God’s love always surrounds us, urging us either to hold fast to Him or to turn back to Him.
