Through the Bible in one year - Day 85

Psalm 85:6

Will you not revive us again,

that your people may rejoice in you?

1 Corinthians 3:18-20

"Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness," and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

I do not wish to deceive myself. How easy it would be to let myself off the hook - on whatever I haven't done or should have done - or shouldn't have done but did.

Going back a couple of days: 1 Corinthians 1:18

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

Will you not revive us again, that we may rejoice in you? Show us your mercy, oh Lord and grant us your salvation. -Psalm 85:7
