The world teaches you .. How to not to be a fool. But I am saying to you be a fool and humble yourself in God’s presence.
. Be a fool. Completely. If you want to be a wise ( by kingdom standard)you need to be a fool. If you are wise by the standard of this world – you should be a fool. If I standard and modern my self by this world . I am fooling myself. Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. What wisdom has this world? Is it technology which I am able to write now on the blog? Is it science , philosophy , psychology , archaeology ? In what we proud most in this world? Is it our talents? Or the degree we got? or a property we have? ALL IN GOD’S SIGHT ARE FOLLISHNESS! I am thriving to reach and understand his greatness. I need to be the temple of God – That I am able to prioritise and order my time according to his well. When I have his Spirit than I am going to tell the world around me what to do – not this world tells me what would be next!
The world will say tithing is a mistake.
The world will say getting is better than giving.
The world will say get more and more and more and never be satisfied.
But I am telling you be wise enough and be a fool in those things.
The world will say enjoy your life while you are here and that’s it.
But I am telling you enjoy the Lord while you are here because you have eternity in Him.
I am going bring down any wise in me that blocking the wisdom of God in my life. If I say I am wise enough to handle my life. It means I do not need God in my life. It means I am trusting my self in all I do – not God. Yes – I am wise enough to listen to his voice. I am wise enough to prosper my life by humbling my self in his presence with honesty and dignity.
I’ll be silly enough to make wise myself. I remind my self of what Job said in 5 : 13. I’ll be clever enough to worship Him – Bow down in his presence and surrender every part of my life to Him. The Life I am living is by His Grace. It is by his life – I have full life in Him.
Is it sickness ? Is it pain? Is it sorrow ? Is it Joy? Is it? What going to make me convince that this world has wisdom ? Nothing in this and that world going to convince me that I am able to do the thing by my own. My mind and thoughts and the life I am living is limited. I am trusting to the one – the source of everything- who is unlimited! So I am rooted to Unlimited than I am able to do everything according to His will. The Joy I have right now is from Him- even the pain in my life they are good to open the doors for me. I am not ashamed of every experience I had and I will have(nice or not).
I’ll be fool in this world _ BUT.. assured and secured and guaranteed .. That.. I am wise in God’s sight absolutely.
I do not need get a degree of theology … because the conclusion would be I need to be a fool than I’ll be a wise.
The simple message of gospel is to know him in a personal way . Be wise in the eyes of Father. Becoming like Him. Following on his way. Every details of my life… glorifying Him.
That’s it.
