THE WISDOM OF GOD
Memorise: O the depth of the
riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his
judgements, and his ways past finding out! Romans 11:33
Wherever God decides to reveal deep things about
Himself to anyone, the human response is always that of unspeakable awesome
surprise. Paul caught some revelations of God and exclaimed in Romans 11:33a
that:
“O the depth of
the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!”
This is the cry of someone who has seen beyond the
physical realm; obviously God had shown him a little glimpse of the depth of
His knowledge and wisdom. The Psalmist in Psalm 139:6 also experienced this and
submitted in absolute wonder saying:
“Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”
It is therefore not surprising that the greatest minds
among the scientists and philosopher of this world are incompetent to discern,
assess, or comprehend the knowledge and wisdom of God.
“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.”
1 Corinthians 1:21
Because the all-knowing God is also the Creator of the
heavens and earth, He knows that the human thinking faculty is not designed to
understand spiritual matters and therefore cannot comprehend the knowledge and
wisdom of a God who is Spirit. In essence, human logic, reasoning, science, and
philosophy are grossly inadequate to bring man to the saving knowledge of an
immortal, invisible, omnipotent and omniscient God. But glory be to God,
because it pleased Him that by the foolishness of the message of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, anyone that believes would receive the power of salvation and
intimacy with God.
Nevertheless, the Bible in Matthew 11:19 tells us that
wisdom has children, and the wisdom of those children beings with the fear of
the Lord (Psalm 111:10). They are also known to reject the wisdom of this
world, according to 2 Corinthians 1:12. As children of wisdom, they accept
Jesus Christ the Son of the living God as the Wisdom of God and as Lord and
Saviour. I therefore invite you to join the children of wisdom today by dedicating
your life to Jesus and accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour. Taste and see
that the Lord is good. Once you surrender your life to Him, He will begin to
make all things work out for your good.
Prayer Point:
Father, please open my
spiritual eyes to behold wondrous things according to the riches of your wisdom
and knowledge, in Jesus’ Name.
