Saints of the Most High God;
For today's weekly discussion I felt the need to talk about the power and wisdom of God taken from my monthly devotional, Heavenly Bread, which can be found on www.issuu.com/white8613. In the weeks to come will be posted on my website ar www.goodshepherdwritingandpublishing.com.
God’s Power and Wisdom
1 Corinthian 1:17-31
In Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church he makes a profound comparison between the power and wisdom of God and that of the world. It is through the foolish preaching of the cross all men are saved who believe. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God because the world feels that humanity is the highest order of authority and with this kind of wisdom humanity will never come to know God for who He really is and what He has done and continues to do in the lives of all mankind. Preaching the crucified Christ is foolish to the world because it lacks the ability to conceive the magnitude of God’s love for mankind that He would give His only Son to take on the sin-debt of man.

Verses 25-29, Paul expounds of the fact that God has chosen the foolish things because His strength and wisdom far exceeds that of man as His moral and standards differ from those of the world. It is noteworthy to say that it is by God’s standards the world will be judged.
The question now becomes, will all humanistic philosophies, psychologies and other worldly systems last an eternity? Absolutely not, because God said in His word that His word will stand when all else passes away. If the world looks upon things as wise, then choose the foolishness of God because through Christ Jesus we have wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption unto salvation. Be wise choose God.
