The Real Godഉദാഹരണം

God Is Wise

In addition to being good, sovereign, and holy, the real God is also wise. What difference does that make in your life? 

Once while in seminary I was having a really tough time. Even though I was trying to be obedient, I had a pretty negative view of my marriage, my work, my studies, and my future.

Then I heard a professor say, “The wisdom of God tells us that God will bring about the best possible results by the best possible means for the most possible people for the longest possible time.” 

That helped me realize that God’s wisdom was orchestrating my circumstances. I quit resisting and let Him shape my faith.

Everything in our lives is part of God’s wise plan, based on His good, sovereign, and loving nature. 

God reveals His wisdom to us through creation, His Word, His Son, His providence, His redemptive plan, and our own experiences with Him. He even promises that we can receive His wisdom simply by asking for it in faith (James 1:5-6). 

When we come to grips with this truth, we can begin to see His wisdom in our circumstances. 

·  Our perspective grows broader, our faith grows deeper, and our character grows stronger. 

·  Our stresses, fears, and anxieties begin to fade. 

·  We understand that God sees everything in perfect focus and is working out His purposes in us. 

·  That may not remove all the mystery from our lives, but we experience peace in God’s wise plans.

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” (Romans 11:33).

Today, recognize that every aspect of your life is grounded in the divine wisdom of the real God. By trusting Him and cooperating with what He is doing, your life will be changed.
