Worldly Wisdom Futile FoolishnessDo not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”;and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”-1 Corinthians 3:18-20Human Wisdom and the knowledge of this natural world has always intrigued me,I Believe if Given the right approach through the correct filter it can be very useful to understand the creation and therefore draw us closer to the creator.However, Satan is very cunning and our nature is very idolater.We must be watchful not to give created things a place that belongs only to the creator.If we are not careful the very knowledge that should draw us closer to the creator could actually draw us astray & away from him.Hindering our interaction with him and our revelation of the truth.Satan is deceiving and he will use even the good things like knowledge for evil outcomes like a separation of the creation from its creator.He likes to give half-truths with subtle twists to deviate us from our walk in the Truth.He Likes to use created things, created principles, and even created people to refute the creator who is responsible for the existence of all the things mentioned above,Leading us astray while we do not notice, and we actually feel smart in doing it because he also uses our prideful nature to take advantage of us.Let us not rely on our own understanding thinking we are smarter or better than God because we try to rationalize things with our minds which should be discerned through our Spirit.Father help us rely on your Spirit's Revelation, not on our own understanding, and rebuke Satan's evil devises and cunning schemes & arguments.Father forgive all of those who do not know what they do when they sin against you.
