God's Wisdom Vs. the World's Wisdom

Readings:
Job 3
I Corinthians 1

Focus:
I Corinthians 1:20b: "God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish!"

Sometimes when we think about the ways that the Bible says that we ought to live, it doesn't sound "smart" or practical. It doesn't seem to be what makes sense with what current thinking is about the best way to conduct our lives.

But that's because God's ways are different from human ways. And God's ways are better. They are wiser. God is rightside up. It is the world that is upside down.

If we follow God's ways, we will be guaranteed to be more deeply happy, satisfied, and content than if we lived any other way. It may not be what we expect, but it will be what we need, and what makes for our true happiness.
