Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
1 Corinthians 1:20 NIV
People have the wisdom of the world at their fingertips. Through the reach of the Internet, they can take classes at the world’s best universities, listen to some of the most intelligent speakers, and read a large portion of all the best books ever written.
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. They’re still, by and large, fighting against one another more than living in harmony. Somehow everyone has all the answers, but no one can work out the solutions to the problems.
Why is that?
Well, it could be that they don’t ask the One who is the source of all wisdom.
Just as in the days of the first disciples, people are still looking for signs. They look out in the world for answers, reasons, and evidence. They look to each other for guidance.
“But we preach Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23).
If you go to Jesus, you will find the answers. Study His life, and you will see the order to 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 of God.
God, if Your story is considered foolishness to the world, then let me be a fool, too. Amen.
