1 Corinthians Chapter 3

Great Chapter today.....the verse that struck a chord in me was the following verse 18 "If you think you are wise by this world's standards, you will have to become a fool so you can become wise by God's standards." 19 "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.", "God catches those who think they are wise in their own cleverness."

It made me think about how often that I try to rationalize something for my own desires, not God's. That I spend money on something that I think that I need but truly it is a want. Why is it so easy for us as society to get wrapped up in what we think that we "need"? I am challenged and convicted by these verses.

Lord,

Help me to live by your desires and by your wisdom that I read of versus relying on my own beliefs that are warped by the world and culture that I live in. Let my actions and words be for you instead of for me which is against you Lord. I pray for the strength to do better and to be challenged by your words. Let them soak into my soul so that they come easily to me, that I can portray those words and actions in your name my savior.

I ask for all of this in your sweet name!

Amen.
