From J. C. Philpot's Daily Portions
October 21 "Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are
yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death,
or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and you are Christ's;
and Christ is God's." 1 Corinthians 3:21-23 Whatever there be in heaven, whatever there be in earth,
that can be for your spiritual good, all is yours so far as you are an heir
of God and a joint-heir with Christ. The silver and the gold and the cattle
upon a thousand hills are all Christ's because all power is given to him in
heaven and in earth. Whatever your temporal needs may be, he can supply
them, because he is king on earth as well as in heaven. Whatever enemies you
may have, he is able to defeat them; whatever evils may press upon you, he
is able to subdue them; whatever sorrows surround you, he is able to console
you under them. Everything in time, everything in eternity, in this world
and in the world to come, are all on your side, that are heirs of God and
joint-heirs with Christ.
