July 9The Foolish Way of New Life
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 1:18Some things just dont 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 couldnt really imagine what the experience would be like. What my body was going to do seemed impossible!
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians that birth into Gods kingdom, the salvation that God offers us through Christ, seems equally incomprehensible to those who havent experienced it. It sounds like foolishness to say that salvation could come through a crossa death marked by weakness, defeat, and humiliation. Yet this foolishness was the salvation that Paul preached!
It wasnt 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.
God took something shameful and weakdeath on a crossand 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).
And His surprising, confounding ways are always the best ways.
By: Amy Peterson Reflect & Pray
How is God surprising you today? Why is it true that Gods ways are better than your ways?
God, with Isaiah I pray, as high as the heavens are above the earth, so are Your ways higher than my ways.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Hope you made it through hump day.

Howdy, radu.
Smokey showed up tonight just long enough to eat a tiny portion of the canned food. When she quit, I brought it in. I was going to take it back out after she’d digested it, but when I went out to offer her more, she was gone. Silly kitty!

Good evening, mountainlion...stay cool.
We had one day of almost 80 degrees and it’s been mostly overcast since.
But today I awoke to RAIN!! We’ve had over 1/2” so far, with hopes for more measurable to come.

Good evening, radu...hope you’ve gotten some rain.
We’ve had .6” so far today. Hoping for more in the next few days.
Well, if it could go wrong, it did. I started checking one of the units that is transferring to the new employer....every single one is wrong. *sigh*
Got the boss involved and spent a half hour on the phone with her and she has turned it into the program folks. In the meantime, Ruth and I have been correcting, correcting, correcting. Upwards of 300. We are hoping the program guy has a fix and the system can correct the rest of them. Such fun.
