1 Corinthians 2:6-9
6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
The rulers of biblical times did not have God's wisdom, therefore they crucified Jesus - 2000 years later we unfortunately still cannot say that we have rulers that have developed any godlier wisdom than those of biblical times. This made me think, though - we have such great opportunities to raise godly leaders in the next generation - maybe we should intentionally ask God for His wisdom in how to raise the next generation, how to impart at least the godly wisdom we have to them - but then also - what would be His strategy for us to put in place so that they will go on developing even more godly wisdom than what we have in this generation?
Point to ponder
Let's pray this week for our leaders - for their hearts to turn to God and for godly wisdom to be imparted by the Lord Jesus Christ into their hearts and minds. Let's also pray for the next generation of leaders to be raised with godly wisdom and for those who have to raise them to know how to do that!
Lord, we join heaven's song, singing endless Alleluias for countless miracles...
