Lord, Deliver Me from Stupidity

We pray for all kinds of things in our lives—healing, strength in temptation, help with children—but have you ever asked God to help you not be stupid?

When the Bible talks about stupidity, it’s not merely addressing book-smarts or street-smarts, I.Q., or knowing lots of information about a lot of things. According to Scripture, you can be really smart and still be super stupid. Knowing the superfluidity factors of quantum mechanics pales in comparison to knowing how to live wisely before the Lord.
