Do not deceive yourselves…

1st Corinthians 3, appointed for today, is especially good in light of the presidential debate this week:

18 Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise. 19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness,’ 20and again, ‘The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.’

21 So let no one boast about human leaders. For all things are yours, 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-all belong to you, 23and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.

All things are yours because you belong to Christ and Christ belongs to God. A great thought to take into the day. May we all become fools for Christ.
