Fools Are Made Wise
 Toni Smothers
 
Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 3:10-17
 Click here to read the scripture
Scripture Quote: "How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it. Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight." Proverbs 1:22, 8:5, 9:6 (NIV)
 
Just how foolish a person is depends on the degree to which they resist the instruction of God's Word. They can be naive, or just oppose truth and deliberately scoff at all things Christian. We come across all kinds of opposition to our faith in this world. Christians are deeply aware that God's Ways are much higher than ours and He is trustworthy and willing to help us through life’s trials - But there are actually those who can look at God's visible creation and not see His eternal power and deity - They just don’t get God at all. 
 
The nonbeliever doesn't respect God's authority over their lives. All instruction from God's Word is foolishness to their hardened heart. Christians have accepted God's sovereignty and His right to rule over His creation. We can ask Him to remove any rebellion or confusion in our hearts. Although we can't completely comprehend His Glory, we do know that He is Lord God Almighty. He makes the heart of the simple wise and the lost found. As we receive God’s instruction and grace, he molds and shapes our lives into something beautiful.
 
Today’s meditation: Pray for the scoffers, that they may know God.
 
Memory Verse: The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
Psalms 19:7 (NIV)

​Los tontos son sabios
 Toni sofoca
 
Lectura bíblica: 2 Timoteo 3: 10-17
 Haga clic aquí para leer la escritura
Cita de las Escrituras: "¿Hasta cuándo aman los sencillos sus sencillos caminos? ¿Hasta cuándo los burladores se deleitarán en burlas y los necios odiarán el conocimiento? Tú que eres simple, gana la prudencia, tú que eres tonto, pon tu corazón en ello. Deja tu simple maneras y vivirás, camina en el camino de la visión ". Proverbios 1:22, 8: 5, 9: 6 (NVI)
 
Lo tonto que es una persona depende del grado en que resista la instrucción de la Palabra de Dios. Pueden ser ingenuos, o simplemente oponerse a la verdad y burlarse deliberadamente de todo lo que sea cristiano. Nos encontramos con todo tipo de oposición a nuestra fe en este mundo. Los cristianos somos muy conscientes de que los caminos de Dios son mucho más elevados que los nuestros y que Él es confiable y está dispuesto a ayudarnos en las pruebas de la vida. Pero en realidad hay quienes pueden ver la creación visible de Dios y no ver su poder y deidad eternos. Simplemente no lo hacen. obtener a Dios en absoluto.
 
El no creyente no respeta la autoridad de Dios sobre sus vidas. Todas las instrucciones de la Palabra de Dios son una tontería para su corazón endurecido. Los cristianos han aceptado la soberanía de Dios y su derecho a gobernar sobre su creación. Podemos pedirle que elimine cualquier rebelión o confusión en nuestros corazones. Aunque no podemos comprender por completo Su Gloria, sí sabemos que Él es el Señor Dios Todopoderoso. Él hace que el corazón del simple sabio y el perdido se encuentre. A medida que recibimos la instrucción y la gracia de Dios, él moldea y da forma a nuestras vidas en algo hermoso.
 
La meditación de hoy: Ore por los burladores, para que puedan conocer a Dios.
 
Versículo para memorizar: La ley de Jehová es perfecta, refresca el alma. Los estatutos del Señor son confiables, haciendo sabio al simple.
Salmos 19: 7 (NVI)
