1 Corinthians 1;18 ''The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.''
This verse was in my daily Bible reading today and reminds me where to lay my burdens. Every doubt, sorrow, worry, or anxious moment has been paid for at the foot of the Cross.
''Now I can trade these ashes in for beauty and wear forgiveness like a crown. Coming to kiss the feet of mercy, I lay every burden down at the foot of the Cross.''
I can honestly say God has won my heart and my trials are turned into victory thru Him and for His glory. If you read further in the passage past this one verse, it talks more about our foolishness. 1 Corinthians 1;24-25 ''But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God’s weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.''
How come we can recognize how little we know when we get lost going from point A to point B, but we often think we know better than God or can do things without Him? Arrogance needs to be humbled, anxiety needs to be calmed, and patience needs to be sought. Where can you find such a peace-giving place? At the foot of the Cross, where grace and suffering meet.
