SAY WHAT?!
My eyes skimmed over this verse in the middle of church today and I spent the rest of the service writing about it in my journal. I missed today's sermon, but gained a new insight!
1 Corinthians 1:16-31
V. 25 “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
SAY WHAT?! I find it so bold of Paul to put the words “foolishness” and “weakness” in the same sentence as God. I would never be able to even consider God as either of these things. But I guess that’s what it looks like from our point of view sometimes. I admit that sometimes I have looked up at the ceiling or up at the sky and said, “Are You sure You know what you are doing? Because I definitely think that should not have happened. Can You go back and, well, try again?”
Perhaps Paul is saying that even if God could make a mistake, if His foot should slip, and if He were to have some omnipotent brain fart, then that mistake would still be more thought through than a mistake I would make.
Why? Can you please tell me why it is so hard to trust God?! Seriously, why can I not just accept what He has put before me and take it without question? Why don't I remember that God is on my side? He is working with me and for me at all times. So I have another reason to say "SAY WHAT?!" It's what I always say to God when He quietly tells me that He has been carrying me the whole time I thought I was traveling alone, and it's also what I end up squealing with joy when I discover what He had in store for me the whole time. All I had to do was get out of the way.
