Foolishness

Do you know the definition of foolishness?  Well, according to Google it means: lack of good sense or judgment; stupidity. And look Google even gives us an example sentence: "she was realizing the foolishness of her actions." Now, who can admit to such a thing? I can! Oh I can! If I can describe my actions this past month I would say-- Foolishness. I want you to know the definition of the word Foolishness used in the bible:

3474 mōrós (the root of the English terms, "moron, moronic") – properly, dull (insipid), flat ("without an edge"); (figuratively) "mentally inert"; dull in understanding; nonsensical ("moronic"), lacking a grip on reality (acting as though "brainless").

[This root (mōr-) "properly refers to physical nerves causing one to become dull, sluggish (so Hipp., Aristotle); used of the mind, dull, stupid, foolish" (Abbott-Smith); "flat/insipid" (WS, 1062). 3474 (mōrós) is used ironically of apparent stupidity in 1 Cor 1;25,27, 3:18.]

I know.. I know... i'm a fool! I am indeed a foolish women! The one who gazes on those things that are temporary. The one who sees danger and instead of running the opposite direction saying, "Well maybe I can help Lord. Let me take it from here." I liken my foolishness to Adam really. The first Adam. I have heard many people say I wouldn't have eaten from the tree, but when I look at the choices I've made (especially this month) I can say I would've eaten from that tree. I would've disobeyed God just like Adam. The reality of that makes me cry bitterly just like Peter did when he denied being a follower of Jesus three times. Oh I am no better than these men or women who have lived before me. Just another foolish women.  For I do not understand my actions. Paul writes in Romans 7. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.16Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. 17So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 21So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! 

Lord, help me. Help me to have patience and to know that you are sovereign over every detail in my life, which ultimately is for your glory. Also, Lord continue to renew my mind. I need your wisdom, your counsel, and your Love! In Jesus Name - Amen!
