Topic: ONLY GOD IS WISE (A Study in Contrast)
Bible Text: There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise. Prov. 26:12
Never think you are wise. Only God is wise. Our wisdom is foolishness before God.
In those days, it was believed that when a man is educated his success is guaranteed. Today that has become folly because there are many graduates roaming the streets begging for bread. It was thought that when you are in business, you will be in money. It is clear today that many businessmen are as poor as church rats. Why? It is simply because it is now the market that dictates the price at which products must be sold and most often it is far below the cost incurred by the producer in producing the market!
It is said that children born out of wedlock will misbehave. It is now known that that is not true. Some of them even behave better than the so-called free born. For instance, Jephthah was born out of wedlock yet he was well-behaved. He ruled his family even over the free-born! Abraham Lincoln’s mother’s has a background similar to being born outside wedlock. Yet she produced the greatest President America ever produced! What has Esau done right from the womb that God decided to hate him and love Jacob instead? Why did God not punish Jacob’s mother for loving one child over another? Why would Abraham, in spite of his nick name “father of faith” not receive his promised child until he practically provoked it after all logical possibility of having Isaac has since forgotten? Why should Job suffer even though he was pure at heart? Why must Eli and Samuel work so hard in the ministry and fail in the home front?
Human beings don’t and will not want to understand why a child born outside wedlock should be permitted to go to his biological father when he or she grows up to know the fact. Yet that’s exactly what God wants. It is illogical to man why God should did not kill Cain for killing Abel, why if a child is born through incest or from a brother and a sister, God should be interested in that child in spite of their parents grave sins. Yet God does not throw such children overboard, rather He cares for them. That’s not to say that their parents will be free from their pangs of the abomination they committed. But wait, can you consider it wisdom, yet it is so on the part of Gods, that if such parents sincerely repent of their sins, God will forgive and blot out their sins?
Can you imagine Jesus forgiving a repentant sinner on the cross who never followed the process of baptism (water or spirit),never spoke in tongue and never completed the various processes that according to the Bible qualify one to make heaven? Can you imagine Saul, the persecutor and prosecutor of the Christians and who killed several of them suddenly becoming a saint? My dear brethren, just note this: ONLY GOD IS WISE. He is unquestionable!
Action Point: Never consider yourself as having the monopoly of wisdom. The person you are condemning might be a saint before God.
Prayer point: Lord, prevail upon me never to think I am wise in my own eyes. Instead, subsume my wisdom over your faultless one and let me never question You in any way. Secondly, Lord my wisdom is foolishness therefore, justify me Yourself with your unconditional love and mercy. Let Your love and mercy overshadow my multitude of sins in Jesus name.
