Wisdom of man foolishness with God

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

A woman named Catherine, a Church of Christ member, told me the following story.

She said when her mother was in wheelchair and old, she (Catherine) didn't want to buy a new car because her mother's wheelchair might scratch the car as they put it in and out of the car.  So she waited until after her mother died to buy a new car.  She checked all the prices of what she should pay for the car so they wouldn't charge her too much.  She had to drive about 1000 miles to get the car.

Shortly after returning with the new car, she was diagnosed as having the disease ALS.  She became paralyzed within about 6 months and then died within about a year.

She told me, before dying, she felt so foolish with all her planning on this new car.

I Cor. 3 ... 18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Such a sad story for any of us to follow our own wisdom or wisdom of this world.

Instead we should do the following:

Mt. 6 ... 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

"seek the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness" ... doing daily that which is right in the sight of God through prayer and exercising ourselves in godliness by finding a scripture daily and by doing that which that scripture says after thinking on the instruction given by that scripture.

"take no thought for tomorrow" ...  learn to deal only with today ... This will seem foolish to worldly men, but if we focus on doing what is right in the sight of God today, step by step we will get where we need to be for all the tomorrows ... and really tomorrow never comes because we are living in today.
