Man Is Not Wise

"The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding 

He established the heavens" ------Proverbs 3: 19. 

"The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, 

before His works of old" ------Proverbs 8: 22 

God, by wisdom, created everything. God alone is wise!

Solomon said quantities in describing wisdom. He used the feminine personification as wisdom's voice to rejoice in God's wisdom. He never had to learn anything. He is omniscient; all knowing. He possesses wisdom always. God alone is wise.

Man is not wise. In comparison to God, our puny little brains are nothing. We have no intelligence apart from God, yet He designed us with an intelligence. No matter our IQ, God is glorified. God made our brains to do what they do: to think, reason, create, imagine, and to absorb knowledge. God is the Creator of all we are. We cannot even think about Him without using the mind He created. We lift voices to Him, we read His word, we learn the melodies of beautiful songs, and we worship Him with the body and intelligence He gave us.

 He/They made mankind in the image of God. (cf Genesis 1: 26, 27)

Our wisdom is God-given; we have no intelligence apart from God. Doctors, scientists, teachers, mechanics, artists, writers, fashion designers, filmmakers, road crews, our military, lawyers, pilots, judges, cab drivers and bus drivers, farmers and house-wives; from the highest genius’ to the simplest person has an intelligence designed by God before the foundation of the world.

I could not be writing this blog without the wisdom of God. My computer exists because God gave someone the mind to put it together. Blogsites exist because God gave someone the mind to create them. The mind you are using to read and understand this is because God created it to do so.

"Rejoicing in His inhabited world, and His delight 

is was with the sons of men" ------Proverbs 8:31

God enjoys our intelligence. The book of James tells us to ask for wisdom to understand more about God and His will. (James 1:5) God loves to give us wisdom. How easy to be wise if we ask the Creator to give us the intelligence that He possessed forever.

What are really, totally, mind-blowing facts are even though God designed our brains and the way we think, and what intelligence we possess, He gave us a free will to do as we please. Mankind can and does attempt to use our tiny minds to get rid of God; deny God’s existence; redesign His creation; explain Him away; and create little gods in our own puny, weak image. The minds God gave us to glorify Him; mankind uses to perform all kinds of evils and sins. Even those who think of ways to mistreat, and even kill Christians are using the minds God gave them to attempt the impossible. They cannot destroy God.

The almighty God has the right to destroy us, yet He doesn’t. That is GRACE! He made us to worship Him out of a pure heart and love. Though many reject Him, hate Him, and deny Him, yet Jesus still came to earth to die for all the sin of man. God loved us so much that He did that for us, just so we could be with Him forever. 

Amazing grace—how can it be that thou my Lord should die for me
