The thoughts of the wise

1 Corinthians 3:18-21

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 Therefore let no one boast in men.

It is good to keep in mind that our wisdom here on earth is foolishness with God, for this thought, if pondered and taken to heart, will foster humility and dependence on God and not on our own strength and futile thoughts of human wisdom. God warns us in this passage that if we keep insisting to walk in our own wisdom, that we will be caught in our own craftiness.

Let us pray this week that God will show us where we are holding on to our own futile human wisdom instead of trusting in His Wisdom!  In His presence we cannot become wise in our own age.
