“For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.”
{1 Corinthians 1:25}
When I recently read 1 Corinthians 1:25, I chuckled because I have been oh so foolish.
God’s foolishness is wiser than my wisdom, and His weakness is stronger than my strength.
Then, why do I so often rely on my own wisdom and my own strength?
— when God has got it from the start, and I should (key word: should) have God be in the control center of my life.
As for that control is a struggle for me…I strive for God to be in control of my life, but I still hold onto parts of it for dear life. I constantly go back and forth saying, “God, please take control of _____,” but, then still grip hold of something else.
It is a constant battle, but my hope is to have God at the center, and that is something that will be a continuing goal in my life! Let’s go to God’s wisdom and strength instead of our own!
People have been asking me what they can do to help…
