There is a wisdom mankind has about the natural
things of this world. There is also a human wisdom
about God and the things of God. But man's wisdom
has never and never will be capable of understanding
or knowing God. Knowing God and the wisdom of
God can only be known through Him. He chose to
reconcile mankind to Himself by sending His Son Jesus
Christ. In man's wisdom, this makes no sense. But we
don't rely on human wisdom to know the things of God
or to receive His salvation by faith. We rely on the
wisdom of God.
Heavenly Father, sometimes we rely on our own
wisdom to get by in this world. We ask you to
forgive us for that. Please help us to rely at all
times on your wisdom that leads us to you. In
Jesus' name, Amen.
Read 1 Corinthians 1:21
"For since in the wisdom of God the world
through its wisdom did not know him, God was
pleased through the foolishness of what was
preached to save those who believe." (NIV)
"For after that in the wisdom of God the
world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased
God by the foolishness of preaching to save
them that believe." (KJV)
