1 Corinthians 3: 18 – 20
“Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks
he is wise in this age,
he should become a fool,
so that he may become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.
As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.
And again, “The LORD knows that
the thoughts of the wise are futile.””

The past couple of days have been difficult for me, I was constantly reminded that I really look foolish and people will take offense with me. I felt a little intimidated and worried about what people thought of me. I gained a couple of kg’s and then my minds started telling me I am getting fat. For someone who worries about their weight, this is a real threat.
I also have been plagued with negative thoughts the entire week. This was so bad that on Thursday I really felt terrible, I was constantly reminded that I am foolish and that people look down on me. I at some stage realized that I was so tearful.
All of this was due to a system malfunction and I actually believed that it was my fault. This morning I even awoke from a nightmare as I was running late in my dream. I jumped out of bed 4:30 ran to the bathroom and opened the showers hot water tap. My husband lay in bed asking where are you going. Hurry up we are running late, come get out of bed. He sat up and said no, get back into bed it's 4:30.
Just because the past week I have been feeling foolish and I have allowed the opinions of people to influence me when God is on my side.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I will not allow my fear of feeling foolish in this world to stop me from being Your faithful servant. I apologize for not always listening to You. I humbly thank You Lord for another day, great opportunities and great surprises. I love You Lord and I want to praise Your holy Name. Thank You also so much for my children what a blessing they are in my life. Praise You, Lord Jesus. Amen
