"God's foolishness is wiser than mans wisdom..." 1 Corinthians 1:25
Man, aint that the truth! Recently I was thinking about the many ways I have seen this to be true in my life. I'm convinced that one of God's hobbies is to confound the wisdom of man and showcase the emptiness of it, while simultaneously displaying the brilliance of his own 'foolishness'.

Man says that if you want to be married, go to the church or the bar.
God says "Don't worry, just follow me. I'll take care of it."

I met my wife following God to Siberia.

Man says that if you want to make a living, get skills, be marketable, find a niche.
God says, "Follow me and I will provide for you abundantly."

Man says that he who dies with the most toys, wins!
God says to lose your life in this world and then you will gain it back in eternity.

As believers, we all have the privelage of impacting people for Christ. And we get to do that every day God gives us on this earth!!

Please add a few of your own if you want. I'm discovering that mans way is actually pretty dull. The real adventure is to live foolishly, following Him without any reservation whatsoever.
