Made for His Glory Part 9

Sometimes God doesn’t make sense. However, His “foolishness” (if ever there is such a thing like that) is wiser than the wisdom of the wisest of men. This so-called “foolish” plan of God is far wiser than the wisest plan of the wisest man, and God in his weakness–Christ dying on the cross-is far stronger than any man. 1 Corinthians 1:25 (Living) That’s the reason to genuinely please and bring about His glory in our lives is beyond head knowledge and beyond what we perceive as being right. We can only please God by following His instructions and not necessarily what is convenient or even morally correct. For His thoughts and ways are far higher than ours. God said, For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9 (KJV) Saul (1 Samuel 15) displeased God by sparing King Agag’s life. Onan (Genesis 38) displeased God by denying his sibling an offspring via his widow which appeared morally incorrect. Uzzah (2 Samuel 6) displeased God by using his hand to steady God’s ark. Ananias and his wife Sapphira (Acts 5) died for giving and lying about the percentage they gave because that displeased God too. For a lot of us these make no sense at all but herein is wisdom: God is no man, He owes no one any explanation. He is God all by Himself. To please this terrible, yet loving, righteous yet caring, holy yet merciful and awesome God who is a consuming fire we must know His will and Do it. Period! Even the preaching of the Gospel to save all who believe which appears as foolishness pleases this mighty God. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1 Corinthians 1:21 (KJV) Even when you don’t understand, STAND in obedience. This pleases God and glorifies Him.
