“So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.” (1 Corinthians 1:20, NLT)
“People have the wisdom of the world at their fingertips.
But having easy access to all of that hasn’t seemed to make people all that much smarter. They still flounder in their foolishness and get caught up in their chaos.
If you go to Jesus, you will find answers. If you study His life, you will see the order of your chaos. If you accept His grace, you will find who you were meant to be.
A seeming fool to the world. But, in reality, a wise woman (or man) of God.
Prayer: God, if Your story is considered foolishness to the world, then let me be a fool, too. Amen.”

Joanne, I think I was meant to see this post this morning. I have something weighing on my heart that seems foolish to me. Thank you for the inspiration!
I will be praying for you this morning, Laurie. May Jesus shine His light and wisdom into that which is weighing on your heart!
WHAT AN AMAZING POST FILLED WITH WISDOM! Your post was short, but to the point and filled with great wisdom and encouragement! Thank you for sharing!
I was just talking to my husband about how sometimes the simplest, shortest little verse in the bible can lead to such a deep understanding. I know of no other words that are capable of doing that.
