Stirred By The Scriptures

We talked a little about faith yesterday, today some thoughts on foolishness.  In particular what turns living by faith into living foolishly.  One of the ways this can happen is when I hold God to a promise he never made.  For example I tell God “You said we shouldn’t worry about tomorrow” so we don’t prepare, we don’t save and we sit around expecting God to handle everything for us - that is foolishness. When I remove God from the being the source of real life that is also foolishness.  Living the Christian life is found in both the strength of the Holy Spirit and the yielding of my being to live in concert with him.  Foolishness is when I ignore God or when I demand something from him that he never promised me.
