Read 1 Corinthians 13-16
1 Corinthians 13:12 says, "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night and seen a person standing in the corner of your bedroom? You hardly dare move, lest he discover you’re awake. Then you notice he’s not moving either, or making any noise. You summon your courage and turn the light on. In the corner where you were sure you saw an intruder, you see your bookcase, or a stack of clothes, or something else absolutely harmless and familiar.
Your eyes were playing tricks on you with the help of shadows, poor lighting, and your imagination. You were scared by something that wasn’t even there, something not real. Once you knew the truth, you weren’t scared any more.
We can get ourselves worked up by the things we read in scripture. When we’re trying to understand God and what He wants from us, it can get confusing. Our minds are finite and the Lord is infinite. He will reveal Himself to us in ways we can understand. One day, we’ll know the answers to all the questions we have, but meanwhile, all God requires from us is to receive Jesus as our Savior and follow Him step by step in ways He clearly shows us.
