Simple Wisdom

1 Corinthians 1:18

I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds

to those who are on the road to destruction.  But we who are

being saved recognize this message as the very power of God.  (NLT)

     Even the simplest mind can reason why it's impossible for someone to come back to life after being dead and buried for days.  This is why it is so hard for the most brilliant minds of the world to believe in the Resurrection Power of the Living God.  It is also too simple to believe in a Sovereign God who created the universe and life with a spoken word.  The greatest minds of the world have rallied around each other for thousands of years to debate the origin of the universe and life, but what they always come up with is by far more difficult to believe than the simple Truth.  The Lord tells us that human wisdom is foolishness and the most brilliant people lack real understanding.  The simple and easy to understand plan that God created for mankind makes the most brilliant plans of a man look utterly outlandish when the Truth is known.  Although God uses brilliant people to advance His Kingdom, He also uses many average, everyday people as well.  Our wise God uses brilliant minds to discover new things about the universe, this world, and the bodies we live in, but sadly, many gifted and brilliant people never discover the real truth for which they seek; truth that opens the mind and softens the heart to God’s incredible eternal Plan for those who would simply believe. 

     Mankind's brilliant reason for creation is foolish, hard to grasp, has no purpose, and if you believe and embraced it, this life will end badly for you.  God’s sovereign plan, on the other hand, is beyond brilliant, easy to understand, has a truly divine purpose, and if embraced, this life will end gloriously.  The knowledge and capability of God compared to that of the most brilliant human mind is much like comparing the size of the universe to a single atom.  God is so far above man’s finite understanding that a rational comparison cannot be made, for with God there are simply no bounds or restrictions.  No amount of human wisdom can save anyone from dying, but God can with just a word.  The best of man’s plans cannot stand the test of time, but the Master Planner's does.  Simply put; without God and His Divine Plan, all of your plans will crumbled and disappear into the abyss forever.  But if all you have, my friend, is the basic knowledge of God and His glorious Plan in the bag, you have more of everything than the most brilliant of worldly minds, including wisdom and insight. 

                                     A Whisper of Hope

I AM the Creator, My child…And the One who creates is always greater than that which He creates.  Never forget where you came from and always seek the Truth.  The world will deem you foolish and weak for believing in the Resurrection and the Life.  But let not your heart be troubled, for you will overcome this foolish world and experience the brilliance to come.

Jeremiah 10:12

He has made the earth by His power,

He has established the world by His

wisdom; And has stretched out the

heavens at His discretion.  (NKJ)

      Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth;

                 for I am God, and there is no other.

                                     (Isaiah 45:22)
