1st Corinthians 1:19 "For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

What this Earth sees as wisdom, God sees as foolishness. Sometimes what God desires flies in the face of conventional wisdom and logical thinking but God is no fool. Later on in the passage, it talks about how God's 'foolishness' is greater than mans wisdom and His 'weakness' is greater than man's strength. Here we are, sitting in our comfortable lives thinking that we know everything and elaborately plan for the future based upon what we think to be 'wise'. Relying on our wisdom will lead to nothing but a life filled with foolishness. Living for God, while seemingly foolish, has so much more in store than superficial 'foolishness'.

It's going to be a busy week this week. I feel like I need to study and do well on all of my exams. But I realize that more than anything, I need God. Instead of digging deep into my organic chemistry book, I need to spend time reading His word, seeking His face, and listening for His voice. When trials come and life gets hectic, it is not time to turn rely on human wisdom but rather to turn to God for His wisdom and guidance. In my current situation, I found myself looking for people to talk to. Fortunately, my AIM stopped working and I felt the need to turn to God instead.
