Foolishness – June 4, 2016

Today’s Translation: The Amplified Bible | Weekly Video: Kingdom Building (1 Corinthians 3:1-23)

“Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool [discarding his worldly pretensions and acknowledging his lack of wisdom], so that he may become [truly] wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness (absurdity, stupidity) before God; for it is written [in Scripture], ‘[He is] The one who catches the wise and clever in their craftiness;’ and again, ‘The Lord knows the thoughts of the [humanly] wise, that they are useless.’ So let no one boast in men [about their wisdom, or of having this or that one as a leader]. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas (Peter) or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things are yours, and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.” – 1 Corinthians 3:18-23 (AMP)

Live It Out!

The world will call us foolish for focusing on the kingdom of God rather than living for ourselves. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and lose sight of the God above. He has created each one of us both on purpose and for a purpose. We need to lean on His strength rather than rely on our own. Our God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, so wouldn’t it be foolish not to trust Him?
