For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

1 Corinthians 1:25 NET

We try to set the bar as high as we can when we do great things. We like to think of ourselves as wise and strong, but we are foolish and weak.

The Father is our Creator and establishes what Truth is. He gives us the true goal of our life, a goal that we can only achieve through Christ who is the true Power and Wisdom.

Let's not trust in our resources but look to God to show us how to live. We are His image-bearer, His reflection, His hands and feet. We reach our goals only through Him!

"I have the right to do anything," you say-but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"-but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV The world approaches everything as their right to do it. It's their right to have an abortion, it's their right to be sexually active with whomever they want, it's their right to do drugs, drink to get drunk. But when that happens, they become slaves to their whims, controlled by their desires. Let's not be fooled by this so-called freedom but realize that the Holy Spirit directs us in the way we should go. Let's walk by the Spirit rather than become obsessed by the world.

 He himself will be saved, but only as through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15b NET Salvation is only the beginning. Once we accept the gift from Christ, our heart, our attitude, our purpose shifted to seeking God's will. Our purpose is now higher and greater. If we waste our time on earth doing the same thing as before our salvation, all of it will be for nothing, but our salvation is secured. We are image-bearers, reflecting God's goodness, mercy and grace. This shift will have external indicators. We will be more pleasant to be around, forgiveness becomes a way of life, crises become faith journeys. Let's seek the Father's face that we may be a light into the darkness!

 Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise. 1 Corinthians 3:18 NET We think ourselves much higher than we really are. We may have university degrees, a lot of world experience, be the SME in our field, all that may impress the world, but for the Father this is meaningless and foolish. True Wisdom comes from the Holy Spirit through the free-flowing thoughts that He releases in us and that we believe, hear and listen to. Let's be true to ourselves and vulnerable to the world that we may become wise in the eyes of the Father.
