BC - Day 325

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written:

"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;

the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

1 Corinthians 1:18,19


Footnote:  Paul summarized Isaiah 29:14 to emphasize a point Jesus often made:  God's way of thinking is not like the world's way (normal human wisdom).  And God offers eternal life, which the world can never give.  We can spend a lifetime accumulating human wisdom and yet never learn how to have a personal relationship with God.  We must come to the crucified and risen Christ to receive eternal life and the joy of a personal relationship with our Savior.


So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.  The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.  For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.  1 Corinthians 3:7-9


Footnote:  God's work involves many different individuals with a variety of gifts and abilities.  There are no superstars in this task, only team members performing their own special roles.  We can become useful members of God's team by setting aside our desires to receive glory for what we do.  Don't seek the praise that comes from people -- it is comparatively worthless.  Instead, seek approval from God.
