Don't be wise?

Well, at least not in this world. I am reading in 1Corinthians, and in the 18th-23rd verses of chapter 3 it says,

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

This really hit me. Our wisdom as Christians is not of this earth. It is from God, and based on his word, and revealed through the Holy Ghost. Turn from the world, and all the wisdom it flaunts, for the foolishness of God is wiser than the worlds wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than the worlds strength. Trust; therefore, in the Lord, who is strong to deliver! Amen.
