Our Father's Day

[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. 1 Corinthians 1:27

There is a lot wrong in the world today, but then again there has always been a lot wrong in the world. 

For this world’s wisdom is foolishness (absurdity and stupidity) with God, for it is written, He lays hold of the wise in their [own] craftiness; 1 Corinthians 3:19

The world is foolish. Governments are foolish. Politicians are foolish. Courts are foolish. Wall Street is foolish. Most of religion is foolish. The news is foolish. Entertainment is foolish. Actors are foolish. But that is exactly how our Father made it all to be. The world trusts in all of these foolish things, but we, who are Jesus’ Bride, know that none of the things of the world produces fruit.

And as for what fell among the thorns, these are [the people] who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked and suffocated with the anxieties and cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not ripen (come to maturity and perfection). Luke 8:14

So right now as everything seems so wrong, it is actually right. It is right because our Father uses these foolish times to make His power known. 

Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. Romans 5:3

[This is] because the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men, and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 1:25

So for the sake of Christ, I am well pleased and take pleasure in infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, perplexities and distresses; for when I am weak [in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength). 2 Corinthians 12:10

So to all of the father’s out there, on this Father’s Day, rejoice that it seems that the world is going crazy! This is our Father’s time to show His power and majesty through us. The more things look bad, the better they are for us. The worse the world gets, the stronger our Father becomes in us and the greater and more peaceful our lives become. 

Happy Father’s Day.
