“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. ” 1 Corinthians 3:19
You cannot understand God with a high IQ, a scholarly approach, or through modern thinking. God’s thoughts are not your thoughts and your ways are not God’s ways. He is a spiritual being and you are a human being.
God is unpredictable and controversial. He sees things differently than you and me. God is omniscient and knows all of your future. God also understands you much better than yourself. You see a small glimpse of who you really are but God sees the whole picture.
God sees all you roots tracing back to your genealogy, parental upbringing, and life experiences. He also sees your inner hurts and emotions. All of these influences make up your personality and decision making. This is why the wisdom of God is so important and will provide you with an abundant life.
The wisdom of this world does not mirror spiritual truth. In fact, it is contrary to the ways of God. You can only understand God by the Spirit of God.
You make a decision for Jesus and then you are given the Spirit of God to live in you here on earth. The Spirit is the source of all truth and will reveal the living God to you. He will teach you about Himself and do a powerful work of inner healing and restoration.
When you meet the living God, there will be no turning back. You will fear and respect God and desire to build your life upon the name of Jesus. This is the beginning of wisdom and will be your fountain to an abundant life.
God laughs at the foolishness of the world. The world has nothing of value to offer you and will only lead you astray. However, the Spirit will equip you with strength, wisdom, and protection to overcome the evil ways of the world.
Build you life on God and He will flourish you with His goodness. He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him!
