So, as I was reading in 1 Corinthians today, I was reading into the section of scripture entitled, "Christ the Wisdom and Power of God". Here are the versus that really stood out to me and really made me think:
1 Corinthians 1:25
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."
Wow. This just really proves how wonderful and strong God is. No matter how smart and wise we think we are, God's foolishness is still wiser than us. And no matter how strong we become, God's weakness is still stronger. I can't even wrap my finger around this! This is just too awesome! It is so nice to see this and remember that we can't do anything on our own and we really need to rely on God's strength. So many times I have tried to do things on my own and have become so frustrated and I ultimately fall short of what I was trying to do. But as soon as I give whatever it is I am trying to do on my own to God, I can get it done because He gives me strength! This is just so awesome!
The last two versus were just as awesome!
1 Corinthians 1:30-31
"It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.'"
Once again, how eye opening and convicting! Nothing that we have accomplished and succeeded in is because of our own efforts, but it is because of what God has given us and we are to give the credit to Him and NOT boast in ourselves. He has made us wise, He has given us success, and He deserves everything!
So far, I am loving 1 Corinthians and it is really opening up my eyes and reminding me of things that I have forgotten. It is just so refreshing to know that I do not have to deal with anything on my own and know that God will always be there to back me up! So, thanks God, for making me strong and giving me all of Your strength! You're so awesome!
