Weekend thought (3/3-3/4/07)

"If we can reach
Beyond the wisdom of this age
Into the foolishness of God
That foolishness will save
Those who believe"


Let Mercy Lead, Rich Mullins

It is so easy to fall into the lie that worldly knowledge makes us better people. We strive for more-- for better-- accomplishments, knowledge, awards, possessions... While it isn't wrong to "accomplish"or "have", it is wrong when it becomes our only goal. When we are weak, He is strong-- when we reach into God's "foolishness" and put away our earthly desires for worldly knowledge, perfection and pursuit of things-- we become brilliant... not by mere earthly standards, but by the standards of our Creator.
