(Dutch) Reformed Church in America Daily Prayer Request for Thursday, 8 March 2012

From rca.org:

March 8 Prayer Request March 8 is International Women's Day. Pray that the church will be committed to ending the trafficking of women and girls in North America and around the world, and that we will be active in bringing healing to victims of human trafficking. Today's Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Christ the Power and Wisdom of God  For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,    and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.’  Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling-block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
