November 08, 2019: SOAP #3627:  Job 33; 1Corinthians 1-3

Scripture:  1Corinthians (NIV) 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”

Observation:  On some tests I have taken, I have scored somewhat high in the areas of math.  I enjoy working with numbers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) but easily recognize my limitations.  I understand basic math and enjoyed working with the beginning levels of algebra.  But that is as far as my understanding goes.  There are some math words about which I have no clue:  logarithms; calculus; trigonometry; etc.  They far exceed my math abilities.

God’s wisdom far exceeds man’s wisdom.  He perfectly understands not only physical laws and their limitations, He perfectly understands the laws of the spiritual world.  He understands how spiritual laws can affect the natural world.  Many miracles are just a spiritual law trumping a natural law.

God looks at the problems I bring Him in prayer with a full understanding of what is available in both the physical and spiritual world to solve that problem.

Application:  As I grow in my understanding of God and the spiritual world, I need to see my problems in the light of Who God is, how much He loves me, and what God has available.

Prayer:  Holy Spirit, help me go through this day knowing that you are with me.  I want to walk in confidence that you are more than willing and able to help me face this world.  Amen
