The Wisdom of the World

1 Corinth 1:27 “ But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty”- 

In the eyes of humanistic thinking, people who believe in God are foolish. The world’s viewpoint of life puts God in a box and keeps Him there until a need arises that they can’t handle. Much of the world will say they believe their is a God, but it is foolish to make Him the centrality of your life. They say it is foolish to think that God requires humanity to live a life that is sinless. It is foolish to dedicate your life to serving someone who requires full surrender. The foolish things of this world are Christians who darn to believe that God’s word is true and that someday He will return and life on earth will be judged. The wisdom of this world may consider God as part of the solution, but will never promote that He and He alone is the answers. The world’s wisdom relies on man’s knowledge and abilities to meet our human needs, but fail to meet the need of man’s soul. We may look foolish to the world when we stand up for truth and take a stand for what is right, but God has chosen us for this day to let our light shine. It is not in our ability to be persuasive, but our wisdom come from God and His ability to make things happen. When God begins to move, the world will be confounded and be left speechless. The mighty of this world is no match for those who dare to step out and trust in God to take down those who oppose the God's righteousness.
