God's Ways are Perfect (1 Corinthians 1-2)

According to 1 Corinthians 1 and 2... The message of the Cross is foolishness to the lost, but wisdom and power to the people of God.  We are saved against any humanly impossible condition.  Humanly speaking God’s love for us cannot be reasoned since the wisdom of man cannot bring us to God (1 Corinthians 1:21).  Human wisdom is too weak to even comprehend God’s ways.  We who are born-again believers have cause to rejoice in this, that Christ did not die in vain but saved us beyond our understanding. 

 

It does not make sense that I who has a mental illness should be given the privilege to give the message I have been given.  Come on God there must be someone better than me among 8 billion?  But it is his delight to entrust his message to the weak because that is given in power.  Obviously, God must be looking at other aspect to qualify someone because to the world I was a nobody. 

No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.  And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit, so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. (1 Corinthians 2:11-12) 

 Therefore, I say to you by God’s Spirit: Don’t try to make sense of your life if God is your King.  Your life only makes sense to Him who is full of wisdom and has a plan for the universe and for you. 

 

Your life if God is in charge will never make sense to you but maybe after he has dealt with you.  Humans might be weak and make many mistakes, but God uses their mistakes even for his glory.   

You can certainly pass for a fool if you ignore God’s wisdom dealing in your life.  Don’t do it! 

As far as you are concerned God chose you with a plan in mind.  Don’t try to run ahead of that plan or complications may happen. 

God’s ways don’t make sense but as for me I choose the Cross.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now ...

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it diff...
