When an expert asks me if I have any more questions after having a discussion on a subject related to his or her expertise, I have come to respond with “I don’t know what questions I should ask because I don’t know what I don’t know,” How can I ask an intelligent question when I am not knowledgeable in the topic being discussed?
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;
23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,
24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
The world is filled with foolishness because man has failed to seek THE ONE WHO provides us with true Wisdom. Instead, man continues on the path to sickness, disease, destruction, and death which perpetuates greater darkness. A multitude of children are being diagnosed with disease and disorders that were virtually nonexistent in past decades, or at least very rare. Perversion has become “politically correct” in many circles today whereas perverted behavior was not tolerated in times past. An unbiased person would come to the realization that society is missing “something”. Society today does not “know what it doesn’t know”. Only FATHER has the answers!
The power of GOD is only accessible to those who seek HIS FACE and commune with HIM. I have come to realize that when FATHER tells me something, even though it goes against my logic and common sense, I must embrace HIS WORD over my current understanding. When I have failed to do so, the results were dismal. By having faith in HIS WORD, the situations ended in fruitfulness on my behalf. This has been consistently true throughout my adult life.
The cross and its associated power make no sense to the person who trusts in the world’s wisdom. Why? The world has no comprehension of the spiritual because it is not observable and measurable by the world’s means and methods. Their assumption is that if they can’t see it, it doesn’t exist thus they remain in their folly.
Let us hold fast to our faith in Christ and embrace all that He spoke and did on our behalf for Jesus Christ is the door to accessing the fullness of FATHER’S Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Let us not resist HIS Wisdom but instead fully embrace it and we will increase in fruitfulness and be a blessing to mankind.
