“For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom and
the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” 1
Corinthians 1:25
“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun
evil.” Proverbs 3:7
We think in our
own minds that we are wise. We devise
plans for the future and lie content at night, believing in our hearts that we
have done the right thing. But have we consulted God? Have we sought out His
wisdom, His guidance, His plan and will for our future?
There is
nothing in this world that would indicate or even insinuate, that we are wiser
than Almighty God. Now naturally, if someone
doesn’t believe in the existence of God, then they’re exempt from thinking in
such a manner. It doesn’t make them any
less wrong; it just gives them a temporary pass because they cannot see their
own folly due to the blindness that has been brought on by their own ignorance.
If it were
literally true that we only use 10% of our brain capacity, think of what it
would be like to have unbridled wisdom and knowledge by using a full 100% of
our mental capacity. Then perhaps we might be able to comprehend the vast
wisdom and knowledge that is God.
Proverbs states,
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”. (Proverbs 1:7) Fear in
this case is defined as ‘reverence’ …
showing profound awe, respect and even love. Therefore, the verse could say “Showing the Lord awe, respect
and love is truly the beginning of knowledge.” We need to revere and respect
God before we will pay any attention to what He has to say. We are to love God because He first loved us.
(1 John 4:19 NIV) It’s really a pretty
simple concept if we allow ourselves to meditate on its’ truth. Until next time, walk with the King and be a
blessing!
