THE OCEAN IS MIGHTY ONLY WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON IT....( Do not steal my quote in your programs/conversations/lectures/$peech- ( I.A.J.H.F.W.Y).
ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT SOME AUTHORS SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE OCEAN HAVE DAILY INSPIRATIONS THAT ANSWER SOME OF OUR INTERESTING DISCUSSIONS/QUESTIONS ALMOST EVERYDAY?

The Foolish Way of New Life
Bible in a Year:
Job 38–40 Acts 16:1–21
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.
1 Corinthians 1:18
Today's Scripture & Insight:
1 Corinthians 1:20–31
Some things just don’t make sense until you experience them. When I was pregnant with my first child, I read multiple books about childbirth and listened to dozens of women tell their stories of labor and delivery. But I still couldn’t really imagine what the experience would be like. What my body was going to do seemed impossible! ( YES, BEEN THERE, DONE THAT)
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians that birth into God’s kingdom, the salvation that God offers us through Christ, seems equally incomprehensible to those who haven’t experienced it.( DID YOU READ THAT BUDDY?)
It sounds like “foolishness” to say that salvation could come through a cross—a death marked by weakness, defeat, and humiliation. Yet this “foolishness” was the salvation that Paul preached! ( AND I EXPERIENCED IT....IF YOU HAVE NOT YET, GOD IS PREPARING YOU LIKE GOSPEL MAESTRO YAW SARPONG SAYS IN HIS SONGS)
It wasn’t what anyone could have imagined it would be like. Some people thought that salvation would come through a strong political leader or a miraculous sign. Others thought that their own academic or philosophical achievements would be their salvation (1 Corinthians 1:22). But God surprised everyone by bringing salvation in a way that would only make sense to those who believed, to those who experienced it. ( WOW!)
God took something shameful and weak—death on a cross—and made it the foundation of wisdom and power. God does the unimaginable. He chooses the weak and foolish things of the world to shame the wise (v. 27). ( OGYA NYAME BEDIAKO AGYEMAN GUANTOAHENE KASAPREKO)
And His surprising, confounding ways are always the best ways.(NYANSABOAKWA)

Reflect & Pray
How is God surprising you today? Why is it true that God’s ways are better than your ways?
LETS PRAY 🙏
God, with Isaiah I pray, as high as the heavens are above the earth, so are Your ways higher than my ways.
