1 Corinthians 3:19 – 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”;
Man is busy at work trying to fulfill his own ideas or pleasures. He doesn’t want anything to get in the way of the things he is trying to accomplish. Right now in the last days man is concerned about the planet.
We must not destroy it.
We must not destroy ourselves.
We must not overpopulate it.
While being responsible needs to be a concern, man thinks he needs to do them by himself and cannot fathom the idea of obeying God.
Strangely enough if everyone tried to live for God, we would be looking out for each other and we wouldn’t have most of these problems. Sin is where the problems come in. Selfishness is linked to many of them. Flat out demonic evil can be attributed many more that a lot of us can’t even understand.
Isn’t that how the fall happened in the first place? God I can’t stand the perfect world you provided me, I (selfish pride) have to be in charge! That happened with both the devil and Eve. With a little persuasion, you now have one third of the angels and all of mankind that refuses to repent.
How many refuse to repent?
Matthew 7:13-14 – 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Many more don’t find it than do find it. All man has to do is seek God and they will find His redemptive plan. Instead overall man still wants to do it his way. It is foolishness in God’s sight.
The blind leading the blind is a popular saying. When people don’t read the bible and know what God’s Word says, they are completely susceptible to man’s foolishness.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to discover the Lord. Actually over time intellect seems to have driven a certain prideful gene that gets in the way for many in finding the Lord. However, when one with much intellect does submit to the Lord, wow, we are blessed even more as the body of Christ.
Foolishness….. it’s thinking yourself away from God and apart from God’s will.
Get into the Word and submit your will to Him and watch your relationship with the Lord strengthen.
