The right kind of wisdom

These wise teachers will fall into the trap of their own foolishness, for they have rejected the word of the Lord. Are they so wise after all? ~ Jeremiah 8:9 (NLT)

Your faith, then, does not rest on human wisdom but on God's power. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:5 (GNT)

KEY IDEAS:
Don't trust people who act like they know everything. Instead, trust in the wisdom and power from God.
PRAYER:
Wise and caring God, the world is full of people who think they know more than they do. Sometimes I am one of them. I end up feeling very foolish once I figure out that I'm not so smart. You are both smart and wise. Hold me up so that I don't trip over my own foolishness. Grow wisdom from the seed of Christ Jesus that you have planted in my heart. I want to trust you and share in your wisdom -- while ignoring the so-called "wisdom" of the world around me. Thank you for your attention. Amen.
