I Prefer God's Foolishness Poem by Qiniso Mogale

I prefer not the wisdom of this world
I shun with contempt the wisdom of this world
I run away from the wisdom of this world
I long not to acquire the wisdom of this world
I envy not the wisdom of this world
I admire not those who possess such wisdom
I pity all who possess such wisdom
I have chosen God's foolishness
I prefer God's foolishness.

God's foolishness is the Cross of Christ
God's foolishness is choosing Christ as Lord and Savior
God's foolishness is fearing God instead of satan
God's foolishness is honouring God instead of satan
God's foolishness is pleasing God instead of people
God's foolishness is trusting only in God instead of trusting in other human beings or idols
I prefer God's foolishness.

God's foolishness is realising that I shall die
God's foolishness is realising that I shall account for all my deeds in this flesh
God's foolishness is storing heavenly treasuresinstead of earthly treasures
God's foolishness is in obeying God's statutes
All in all God's foolishness is Christ who is the Wisdom of God
I prefer God's foolishness.
