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
Thoughts on Today's Verse by Phil Ware
God's ultimate "foolishness" is his willingness to use the cross to bring sinners to him. At first glance, the cross is a hideous and horrible tool. In our human wisdom, we could never visualize using a man crucified as a criminal to capture the hearts of the world. But God does.
The cross transcends cultural boundaries, overcomes language barriers, and reaches across races to save all mankind. The cross is God's demonstration of foolishness and weakness, and through it he conquers death and brings our hearts to him.
My Prayer...
On this day, Father, when many people play games and tricks and play the fool, I am powerfully reminded of your "foolishness" and "weakness" at Calvary with Jesus. Words cannot express how powerfully they have touched me with your love and filled me with the assurance of your grace. Thank you! I am utterly amazed that you would love me so much. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
