Say What?

"When God wants to orchestrate something, He doesn't need logic, physics or mathematical probability to make it happen."

I think my own logic gets in the way so many times because if I can’t work it out in my head than it can’t be or won’t be. What a ridiculous statement! It even sounds funny writing it down. The creator of the universe is bound by my own small mind. Not hardly.
That’s why I think this quote should be taped on my mirror so every morning I can read it before heading out. What a great reminder and incentive to go out in this world with an utter disregard for what “educated’ man thinks should be possible instead focusing on what God can do.

“…but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong” – 1 Corinthians 1:27 (YLT)

“Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the persuasive speaker of our time? Hasn't God turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense?” 1 Corinthians 1:20 (GWT)

and lastly, the reason why I like The Message so much; it cuts straight to the chase and tells it like it is. I believe that is the way scripture was intended to be. Not an unfathomable book to be deciphered but rather a personal letter from God to us about this life we live now and the life to come.


I'll turn conventional wisdom on its head,
I'll expose so-called experts as crackpots.
So where can you find someone truly wise, truly educated, truly intelligent in this day and age? Hasn't God exposed it all as pretentious nonsense? Since the world in all its fancy wisdom never had a clue when it came to knowing God, God in his wisdom took delight in using what the world considered dumb…” The Message
