THE AUTHORITY OF THE CROSS
1 Corinthians 1:22-25
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+1:22-25
Dear Father, confounder of worldly wisdom,
What you have caused us to preach is "Christ crucified," a
stumbling block to tradition-followers, like the Jews, and folly to
philosophy-lovers, like the Greeks. But to us who are called, he is
your power and your wisdom. For we believe that your foolishness is
wiser than our wisdom, and your weakness is stronger than our
strength.
I am thankful that you have taken most of us from the lower
echelons of society. Not many of us are wise according to worldly
standards, not many are powerful, not many are of noble birth.
You chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, what is
weak to shame the strong, what is low and despised, even things
that don't yet exist, to bring to nothing the things that are.
May my weakness and foolishness be transformed into usefulness
through your strength and wisdom. In the name of Jesus and by his
wisdom and authority I pray. Amen.
