What happens when the wisdom of God contradicts the wisdom of man?
In today's ScriptureLinks Daily Dose of Inspiration, we're looking at 1 Corinthians 1:18, 21–31 and Paul's challenging message about the cross, the wisdom of God, and the things the world considers foolish.
The world values power, position, education, influence, and personal achievement. But God doesn't measure things the way we do. He chose to work through what the world considers foolish and weak to reveal a wisdom and power that human understanding cannot match.
Paul also reminds us that God didn't call us because we were the wisest, strongest, or most impressive people around. Our salvation and our standing before Him are not grounds for boasting. Jesus Christ is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
So here's the question: Are we judging God's Word by our understanding, or are we allowing God's Word to challenge our understanding?
Open your Bible, follow along, and consider what this passage means for the way you think, live, and trust God.
