“For it is written,
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the
understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where
is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this
world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world
by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save
them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks
seek after wisdom:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews
a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
But unto them which are called, both Jews and
Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than
men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that
not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
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;
And base things of the world, and things which
are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to
nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God
is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
That, according as it is written, He that
glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” I
Corinthians 1:19-31
I ♥ this
passage.
It puts my
life, my problems, my God back into perspective.
And reminds
me of who I am and who He is.
