Seek God’s unsearchable wisdom Samuel Dhinakaran
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8,9)
We do everything based on what runs on our mind and that is usually based on what we learn through our senses. If we rely on the limited knowledge we have, we cannot shine in this world. That is why people do research and accumulate knowledge. Yet the wisdom of the world cannot be compared to the wisdom of God. We should always remember that God chooses the foolish things of the world to shame those who confide in their wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:27) and so should we look to God to be led by His wisdom. The Bible clearly says in Proverbs 21:30 that “There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord”. Only when we look to God for wisdom, God will establish our steps (Psalm 37:23).
There was a church pastor and a member of a church. When the service was over the church member who was sitting in the first row, came running to the pastor and said, “Pastor, I have a question. Something dawned on me this morning and I know that it is correct”. Pastor asked what it was because he was the usual person, who used to ask all the silly questions. The pastor was already breaking his head saying, “Why do I have to deal with this after I have finished this long service? God! Why have you allowed this? Then he said, “Anyway brother, ask your question”. The member said, “Pastor, can you see God?” He said, “No, I can’t see God.” The member then said, “Then there is not God, pastor, is that right?. It is a simple theory. We can’t see God, so there is no God”. The pastor thought for a second and said, “Brother! Can you see your brain?”, He said,” No! Pastor! Of course not”. Then the Pastor said, “Does that mean that you don’t have brain?”
Man’s wisdom is very small my friends. We only think silly things; we only come up with silly solutions which get us into further troubles and panic and we end up in some dirty waters somewhere. But God’s ways are amazing. We only have to have Him in us. That’s the difference between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God. When we seek Him for wisdom He will give us great and unsearchable knowledge that we will not otherwise have in this life.
Prayer:
O Blessed Father in Heaven,
I humble myself before Your wisdom. Your Word says that with You is unsearchable wisdom and You generously give wisdom to everyone who asks of You. So I ask you to guide me with Your wisdom. Give me grace to do great exploits for you. Fill me with Your divine wisdom to excel in everything I do.
I pray in Jesus matchless Name, Amen.
