For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;
I Corinthians 1:22 NKJV
It seems as though different cultures have unique ways to find their ultimate truth. For the Jews it was a sign, like the stirring of the water in the temple which supposedly brought healing.
For the Greeks of this time period it was ‘wisdom’, generally referring to philosophical debate and argumentation.
For us in the U.S. it seems to be science - scientific inquiry and observation. There are many who elevate science to that highest place of authority. ‘Science will show us. Science has all the answers.’
Just like the cultures before us, we have to be careful not to rely on anything above God.
Father, I love you and look to You today. Guide me. Bring purpose into everything I do. Amen.
