Scripture: Yet among the mature we do speak wisdom, though it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to perish. But we speak God’s wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2:6-8)
Observation: In Paul's letters of the New Testament, God's wisdom may even be equivalent to human foolishness. Here are a few examples. God creates the universe out of nothing. God's light shines even when all is darkness. God gives life to his Son who has died. God gives life through the death of his Son.
Application: To consider what foolishness God has for us to accomplish.
Prayer: LORD Jesus, wisdom of God in the flesh: Praise to you for enduring Incarnation and Death. Honor to the God the Father and Spirit in your Resurrection. When your wisdom asks death of me, may Your Spirit give me what it takes for my will to die each day into your will. Life is your Gift. Indeed, Life is your Name. Amen.
Yield: LORD, how may my will die for you today?
