Sept 2                                                            The Power of God’s Word
Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.
– 1 Corinthians 1:21(NLT)
FUTILITY OF HUMAN WISDOM
A poem and essay by ILMA
How often do you rely on your own wisdom?
Can human knowledge lead you to God’s kingdom?
Without God, we can never comprehend anything
It is foolish to try and figure out for yourself something.
God’s wisdom is beyond our understanding
He wants us to continue following and trusting
Even foolish preaching God uses to save those who believe
You can open your heart, accept him and receive.
The quest for knowledge and wisdom had always played a big role in my life. Even at a very young age. I always wanted answers to unending questions in my head. I get frustrated when I can’t get answers. I became an easy prey to the enemy. My mind became my stronghold. It was used so I can be enslaved by “thinking addiction.” Overanalyzing things became automatic and later on, I became proud of what I knew. God revealed to me that I can’t have answers to everything.
The bible tells us that we can never know God through human wisdom. He uses foolish preaching to save those who believe. Only his word can lead us to know him.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me in your word.
