On Sunday, we talked about how it is often the seemingly foolish things that God uses to confound the wisdom of this world. In fact, one could argue that God uses people most powerfully when they are willing to look foolish. Consider Noah as he built the ark or David as he faced Goliath with only a slingshot and some stones. What about professional fisherman Peter when he stepped out of a perfectly good boat to walk on water. Don't tell me that these men didn't feel at least a bit foolish for their radical obedience.
Here's the question: Are you and I willing to look foolish for the cause of Christ? What is it that often causes us to hesitate in being radically obedient to God? How does the Holy Spirit in our lives help us to look foolish for God?
