Foolishness Of Men

“I thought, “These are only the poor; they are foolish, for they do not know the way of the LORD, the requirements of their God. So I will go to the leaders and speak to them; surely they know the way of the LORD, the requirements of their God.” But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke and torn off the bonds.” Jeremiah 5:4-5

Waldemar Kaempffert, the science editor of the New York Times, wrote in February 1950 of “Miracles You’ll See In The Next Fifty Years.”

One of those miracles involved housekeeping. Kaempffert described the life and chores of a future housewife he named “Jane Dobson” thusly: “When Jane Dobson cleans house she simply turns the hose on everything. Why not? Furniture (upholstery included), rugs, draperies, unscratchable floors—all are made of synthetic fabric or waterproof plastic. After the water has run down a drain in the middle of the floor (later concealed by a rug of synthetic fiber), Jane turns on a blast of hot air and dries everything.”

He also said: “Everything in the house is synthetic. There are no dishwashers. Dishes are ‘thrown away after they have been used once, or rather put into a sink where they are dissolved by superheated water’”.

Though the world may be foolish, as Christians we are called to be wise in our actions.

Look to the Lord and ask Him to for wisdom and guidance in all your decisions.
