S - 1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.
O - The world's wisdom is foolish to God.
A - All throughout the world we are taught to learn and to excel in wisdom. Although I think that this is true and that there are benefits to this wisdom, I feel that this verse is really talking about understanding why wisdom is being sought. If wisdom is being sought for personal gain only or for recognition purposes, then I think that is where it becomes foolishness to God. The wisdom of this world tells us how to be better, how to take care of ourselves and how to win. However, these three areas actually are all taken care of by God as we see throughout the Bible. He promises to bless us and to protect us and all we need to do is to follow Him and obey Him. I need to keep it simple and look to Him for His wisdom daily.
P - God, You are the true provider of wisdom. Thank you for your wisdom and your sacrifice. I ask you to help me to keep you first and to look for you and your wisdom instead of trying to gain this worldly wisdom myself. Be with me and my family today and bless us all.
