Wisdom of God - in these times II

Okay...now let's go on to the New Testament...

You have got to read what this says..:

1 Cor 1:20 - 29

Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time {and} age? Has not God shown up the nonsense {and} the folly of this world's wisdom?

 For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive {and} recognize {and} know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).

 For while Jews [demandingly] ask for signs {and} miracles and Greeks pursue philosophy {and} wisdom,

We preach Christ (the Messiah) crucified, [preaching which] to the Jews is a scandal {and} an offensive stumbling block [that springs a snare or trap], and to the Gentiles it is absurd {and} utterly unphilosophical nonsense.

But to those who are called, whether Jew or Greek (Gentile),

Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God.

[This is] because the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men, and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men.

 For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates {and} standards, not many influential {and} powerful, not many of high {and} noble birth.

 [No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.

 And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn {and} insignificant and branded {and} treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose {and} bring to nothing the things that are,

So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.

God has CHOSEN us to be at this place at this p articular time and season.  Therefore, only HE and His wisdom will be sufficient for you to appropriate in this life.  

At work, what someone else says which sounds real "sensible" and " logical.." is not really wisdom of God.  

What the media says is "news" ...not wisdom.

When JESUS , who is the wisdom of God, has a relationship with you, He in His wisdom is revealed to you and you receive wisdom to deal with situations in your life.  It is a total dependance and trusting in God.  Which brings us back to "fear of the Lord".

When we can relate to Him and know HIM , His wisdom is evident in our lives.

It's really beautiful when you delve into God's word and find treasure hidden for us to give to the world.  

We are God's treasure.  When He lives in us, we reveal His wisdom at work, and He works for us.

So , in the end...all it takes is trusting Him completely.  You don't need to break your head.
