(1Co 13:11) “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” Spiritually, it was time for God’s people to grow up and seek the best of what God had to offer: love. They needed to yield to the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to help them sacrificially give of themselves to God, and therefore to others around them. If they would do so, the sin and strife among them would cease. May it be so with you and me.
