"Foolish" Oswald
I know Wes and Nick don't want me to get "all deep" on the blog but I read something in "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers that I thought was so good this morning. I read the book in college and I still like reading a day's devotion every now and then because it is so great. Plus, I know my grandfather has read it every day for years and it's cool to know what he may be thinking about for the day. Anyway, here's something from today, "When looking back on the lives of men and women of God, the tendency is to say, 'What wonderfully keen and intelligent wisdom they had, and how perfectly they understood all that God wanted!' But the keen and intelligent mind behind them was the mind of God, not human wisdom at all. We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were "foolish" enough to trust God's wisdom and His supernatural equipment." I hope to be known when I die as a person who was "foolish" enough to trust God!
