1 Chronicles 19-21, 1 Corinthians 1: 18-31, Psalm 119: 57-64
1 Corinthians 1: 25 (ESV)
“For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
In verse 25 from 1 Corinthians 1, Paul tells us that the divine wisdom of Father-God doesn’t often make sense to people who only use human understanding and wisdom. Many believed at the time that it was foolish to call Jesus Christ the Messiah when he was crucified, since crucifixion was used by the Romans to humiliate and torture people. From a human perspective, one might conclude that Jesus Christ could not be considered the Messiah or the son of God due to his crucifixion. However, as believers in Christ, we know that the crucifixion was an intentional part of Father-God’s divine plan to provide salvation to humanity. Christ died for us, for our sins, so that we could be saved. As believers in Jesus Christ, we need to trust the wisdom of Father-God even when it contradicts human wisdom and logic. Father-God will use weakness and limitation as part of his divine plan, and not just strength and power. The Bible is full of examples besides Christ of Father-God using people who were considered weak and full of limitations in the eyes of the world, to manifest and achieve his divine plan on earth. If you have faith in Christ, never count yourself out if you think you look weak and limited in the eyes of the world. Father-God has a plan for you because you are his child, and because everyone is part of Father-God’s plan to bring salvation to the world.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on this Bible verse, and you want to feel that despite your perceived failings and shortcoming that you have a part to play in the Lord’s divine plan to bring salvation to humanity through your faith in Jesus Christ, please pray this prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I want to give you my Life. Forgive me of all of my sins. Wash me in your blood. I believe in my heart You raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive forgiveness by the blood of Jesus. I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! Do yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full Gospel, Bible-based church where you can hear the words of Father-God preached and experience signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
