Ye who are carnal - will ye become spiritual? 1 Corinthians 3:1-3

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
    Wow!  All kinds of things are happening world wide, deaths, flooding, bombing and fighting.  The climates seem to be changing in different locales. People fighting, killing, robbing, just stress and strife all over the world.  Hmmm!
   1 Corinthians 3 King James Version (KJV)   And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
   Take heed of these words, ye are yet carnal - what does that mean?  Very simply it means we are still living on our own, in our own way, and God is not a part of our equation.  Oh, yes, we may be "involved at church" but in a way suiting to ourselves, not necessarily involved in the way God wishes us to be.
   We are yet being fed with milk!  A baby has milk for nourishment until they get to the point they can begin eating meat.  We get stuck in the milk stage, and while in the milk stage it tends to be "ALL ABOUT ME!"
    We do not want to hear anything except what is pleasing to us.  Then, as we grow we remain carnal and have envy, strife and divisions.  As in verse 3 "....are ye not carnal and walk as men?"
   Well, God wants me to ............   How many times is this our rationale for doing something?  Did God really tell you to?  Just like the lady in East Texas a few years ago who said God told her to kill her children.  Huh?  Did God really tell her, or did the little bells in her head go askew?
  I ask you, my friend, are you walking carnally?  Or, are you seeking God's guidance in all you do.  We as Christians argue over things in the Bible -- well it says this to me - well it says that to me.  Did God know Satan would defect?  Did God know Adam and Eve would sin?  Then why did he make them?   Who really cares and why waste time discussing it?  The B I G question is:  Do you know Jesus?  Did you accept Him as your saviour, dying for your sins?  If Yes, yes.  Then go on, pray for wisdom and knowledge from God and do God's work.  QUIT BEING CARNAL!!!! Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
