Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:6-8
We do, troche however, treatment speak a message of wisdom among the mature, prostate but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.

Thought for the Day: The experiment this week was to start with an ending, think about it, then read the events leading up to that ending. Along the way, we’ve been comparing and contrasting the life of Julius Caesar with scripture (well, that was the idea anyway).

Gaius Julius Caesar was an intensely passionate man who swung between moral extremes. He was an accomplished writer of both literature and non-fiction, and a spellbinding orator who could sway public opinion with the force of his words. He fought to extend citizenship to more people, and redistributed public and private lands to give plebeians the right of land ownership.

He also slaughtered entire villages that dared stand in his way of conquest, lined his own pockets while Governor of Gaul, broke a long engagement to a plebeian girl to marry another that would further his political career, and had political opponents murdered or disgraced.

The wisdom of the age would have us all behave like Caesar. Fortunately, God’s wisdom has broken into the world, shaping and molding us into more compassionate people. For in seeking God, we truly are transformed into new beings, able to see and act beyond the status quo.

Prayer: Holy Mind of All Ages, help me see beyond the obvious, into the depth of wisdom found in exploring your mystery more deeply. Amen.
