Foolishness and Wisdom

"20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength." 1 Corinthians 1:20-25

What good is wisdom and knowledge if it's not from Christ. As I sit here procrastinating on studying for a biology test that I have no motivation to study for, I realize that God's wisdom far outweighs anything I could learn here on Earth. As a science major, I feel that God gives us scientific knowledge of understanding the world around us, but it is but a glimpse of his wisdom. Though it is important for me to be diligent in my studies in order to become a Physical Therapist, I have to constantly remind myself that school is merely a stepping stone to the life God has called me too. It shouldn't be the most important thing in my life though. Any earthly wisdom is nothing compared to the knowledge Christ. How reassuring this news is, knowing that I need not stress about this test tomorrow when it is so insignificant with respect to our omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent God.

Peace :)
