1 Corinthians 1:24- “…But to those whom God has called, both
Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.”
Interpretation: Proverbs 1:7- “The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Proverbs1:20-
“Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares.”
Proverbs 2:12- “Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men
whose words are perverse.” Proverbs 3:13- “Blessed is the man who finds wisdom,
the man who gains understanding…” Proverbs 3:19- “By wisdom the Lord laid the
earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place.” Proverbs 8.
Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. I remember
being 15 and the only parts of the Bible I would read were Proverbs, the
Psalms, and Job. I was so entranced by wisdom. I saw it as very valuable, and I
would often ask God for it. It is cool
that Christ IS the power of God, and he IS the wisdom of God. I asked God for
wisdom, and he gave me Christ. I ask God for strength and it goes back to the
glory of the savior. Everything in history points forward, while everything today
points back, and it all leads to the cross. I don't need long drawn out speech, I only need to tell of the cross, of Christ,
and use Jesus as my power and wisdom. His words, his life and resurrection.
Jesus conquered death! That is great news!
Application: I will post another scripture as my status
today, knowing it is God who changes hearts. [Matt 5:16!]
