Not my wisdom but his.

God has done and shown me some amazing things in the last month. Every single day I have learned a lesson or opened up the bible and had a aha moment. I have had a few people tell me how wise I am becoming, or how great I am doing. Don't get me wrong I love to hear those things, but when someone says that I say its not me its HIM! I am so blessed that God is working through me in ways I never could have imagined. Sometimes I'm like why did you choose me? I don't know if I'm ready for this. But I don't have to be anything because it all comes from him if I trust and believe in him. I was thinking about all this so this morning I remembered a verse I read a couple of weeks ago in 1 Corinthians 1:24-31 " But Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God to those people God has called- Jews and Greeks. Even the foolishness of God is wiser than men. Even the weakness of God is stronger than men. Brothers, look at what you were when God called you. Not many of you were wise in the way the world judges wisdom. Not many of you came from important families. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. And he chose what the world thinks is not important. He chose what the world hates and thinks is nothing. He chose these to destroy what the world thinks is important. God did this so that no man can brag before him. It is God who has made you part of Christ Jesus. Christ has become wisdom for us from God. Christ is the reason we are right with God and have freedom from sin; Christ is the reason we are holy. So as the Scripture says, "If a person brags, he should brag only about the Lord". I am so thankful he is my wisdom, I'm so thankful I have freedom from my old sinful self and can be holy because of him. I hope I never am tempted to brag on myself because it is his wisdom and his way not my own.
