Foolishness

We, like the believers in Corinth nearly 2000 years ago, can come to treasure the standards of our own world over God's standard. We sometimes evaluate motivations and choices based on common sense, not only biblical direction.

Sometimes the Bible can seem foolish.

Paul wrote something that applies to us as well: "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."(1 Cor 1:25)

God's ways may not always make sense to us but that may be the point. His ways are above ours, different from ours, and higher than ours. He is different from us and superior to us. His ways may not always make sense but they are wise and they are strong.

We walk that path by faith.
