Wisdom of the God

Corinthians 1:19
For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of intelligent I will frustrate."

What is the wisdom of the world? Before I know God, I think my life goal is to search the mysteries of the human brain, and want to re-engineer the mechanism into computer and make the computer with the wisdom of human being, so that I can have fame, wealth, and I can be "successful"! However, after some research I have done and some experience I had, I really realize that we human beings are really nothing compared to God. For example, it is hard for computer to really understand the underlying meaning of an image, which seems very nature and easy for our human being and even for animals. If we believe that computer is the effort of many generation of human being, how could we believe that our human being is from randomness, is from evolution? It just make no sense to me to believe that. And a lot of time, I can feel that science sometimes has some trick inside it, where they do not tell you the whole story. However, I am not saying we should not trust science, or continue doing research. I want to emphasize that we human being are really nothing compared to God. God create all the things in the universe, and we, as His children, play in the world, just like the baby is playing with the toys from his dad.

To me, free will is the biggest gift God gives to us. We may have some questions, for example, if God is almighty, why not show some miracles to us to make us believe Him? Why not force us to all believe Him? Why not save us directly? However, true love never enslave! We now can only design robots with precise commands, but God design us by giving us free will to choose to believe Him or not. That is the biggest wisdom of God, that is the greatness of God. Every time I think of this point, I will bow down my knee under His throne. All because He truly loves us, he gives us free will to choose to love Him. And He loves us so much, He send His only son Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross. How great this love is! Is there any other love among our human being is like this? No! Definitely not!

Then why God create us? Why does he want us to suffer, but He loves us so much? What is the meaning of my life in the world? I have tried to search for the meaning of my life. Some people's answer is the meaning of life is to enjoy the life, enjoy the relationship with other people; others' answer is to work hard to achieve your dream; etc. But my own answer is that we have no meaning from our own perspective. What is all the meaning for all you have done in the world? Even if you have gain fame, money, status, love, children, what does that matter to you? You will die finally like all the human beings, except Jesus Christ. Maybe it is not good for us to ask the meaning of our life. How could a cell phone ask what is the meaning of himself? The meaning of our life is dependent on God, the creator! All we have to do is to follow His will, and live a life according to His special plan on you! Maybe He wants you to be a scientist to explore the mysteries of the world, maybe He wants you to be a cleaner. But no matter what He asks you to do, it is good for your own sake. We can glorify Him in many ways!

But, I should also say that the wisdom of God is not accepted by the world. People in the world will laugh at the believers, because they lack the spirit of God. And only God's spirit can understand God's wisdom. I laugh at God's words before I have the spirit of Him. I always thank God for giving me the free gift of His own spirit so that I can understand His words, and not be stumble. God's wisdom is really far far far more than human's wisdom.

Then what is God's wisdom? Just as paul said in Corinthians 2:2 "For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." That is the whole meaning of the wisdom of God. The wisdom is not about some high-tech, or some advanced art, it is about Jesus Christ's crucification, it is about God's love for us! And what should us do? Just as Mark 12:30-31 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." What should I say? If we can really achieve these two commands, we can be loved by God, we can be purified totally. This two commands contain all the wisdom of God.

Corinthians 3:16
"For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?"
But we have the mind of Christ.

Praise be all to our almighty God for giving me your spirit to understand your wisdom! Please purify me using your spirit and your words! Please let me leave the sins I have! Please kill my old self and let the new one dominates! Please give your spirit to those who seek for you! Amen!
