18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.1 Corinthians 1:18-19
I feel frustrated. Only when I start getting into the word again and putting in the time do I have the desire to learn and the desire to use my intelligence that God has given me. I see this pattern being demonstrated over the last several semesters at school. I truly feel that it is a balance that needs to be met in order for me to function properly.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
1 Corinthians 1:27
I also notice that when I am not putting in the time and effort towards time with God, I am tripped up by the tiniest of things. Silly mistakes catch up to me and the things I say or do are not reflective of good, well thought out work.
