Recently God has given me a heart for the foolish, don't get me wrong, I do not believe I am some wise person that is above immaturity. It's just recently, He has given me a different view on people. Usually I just saw teens and adults as what they are, teens and adults; now he is showing me how childish we are.
We do not think upon things that we should, we wast our time on lowly things. It has almost brought me to the point of tears before, I watch teenagers get worked up about things such as, what they will wear to the prom or how Timmy from school broke their heart after a week of dating, it breaks my heart because I know that over half of these kids will never grow out of their foolish concerns. The same goes for adults, yes, they are definitely more mature than kids, but they are still stuck on immature pointless affairs.
Think about it, if it says we are just a little lower than God, (Psalm 8:5-5 For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor) we need to start acting like it, God has given us the mind of Christ, if we would just use it!
It says that if we ask for wisdom God will give it to us freely!(James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. ) So why not ask? It's ridiculous, we have been given every tool that we could possibly ever need and we don't want it, we want the easy shmeesy way out; we want to continue on worrying about absolutely pointless things that in the end will only wear you down and make you even more foolish.
The more you chase God, the farther you will be from this world; you will start to realize just how petty everything in this world really is.
We must change our mind set, we must stop living as children, concern yourself with what God concerns himself, love what God loves, do what God does, speak what God speaks!
Philippians 4:8
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
