FAITH CAPSULE: Foolishness is purposely engaging with self-direction, not of God. 

1 Corinthians 1

God is not foolish but full of goodness and mercy.
The authenticity of the word of God is the evidence that God does not waste a word. 
Inside the documentation of the word of God, there should be no assumption for the story but engage as the secret to living as an over-comer. 
The story of Jerubbaal reducing men of war from twenty-two thousand to three hundred as commanded by God is enough to acknowledge the wisdom and power of God. 
Most of the time, the instruction of God might sound foolish, but in it, all are with delivering victorious power. 
The book of 1 Corinthians 1:25 buttress, “…the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” 
Are you acting wise and nursing a feeling of outsmarting God by contending with His wisdom? 
Contending with His wisdom is purposely engaging with self-direction instead of the direction of God. 
Are you violating Him by acts of wickedness, assuming God is nowhere to expose your ignorance? 
God is not a fool, but His word states, ”But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.” (1 Corinthians 1:27) 
Imagine one that demonstrated being wise, committed murder, and escaped being prosecuted. 
Is God not wise enough to have him exposed and not escape being convicted? 
After many years of escape, he fell sick with the signature of death written all over him and no sign of recovering from his sickness. 
In his “wise” mind, while on his sick bed, it was time to confess the killing he committed many years in the past. 
After confessing as the killer, death became far from him, and the signs of death far from him. 
The supposed wise man was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. 
God is too great to be undermined. 
The fact that God is in the position to respond or not, according to the timing of the act of man, is not a measurable way of disregarding His wisdom and power. 
Be wise to understand that “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.” (Ecclesiastes 8:11-13) 
The move of God that is meaningless to the eyes of the world is mindful of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to open your understanding and fill you with knowledge.
