BWCA_3

It is now onto 1 Corinthians chapter 1 where I found my first challenging thought of this book while in the Boundary Waters. Most of these verses I have read many times and even spent times thinking about them multiple times but am going to share mot of my thoughts for the first time.
1 Cor. 1:25
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

The foolishness of God? First and foremost I don’t ever see it possible that God could be foolish in anyway, shape or form. So to me this is kind of mute or maybe just needed for my understanding here. Cause really in no way can I see God being foolish no matter how hard I think on this. When I think of those thoughts and then think of the fact that even to that point He is still wiser than I am or even the smartest man out there. It makes me realize that I need to stop trying to figure out why and what and all the in betweens in the bible. Some things that were done or happened I may never understand and I have to be ok with that. I think of times when I am talking with some of the smartest people I know and how there are things they say or may even be trying to explain to me that will just fly right over my head without even a chance of me understanding it. Now I turn and think of God being much wiser than even that person and it sheds a little light on the whole complete and ultimate wisdom of God.

Now I think of His strength. In the boundary waters the last couple years we have seen some pretty strong winds and interesting storms, but nothing really bad. It is just a different thought process when you are out in the middle of no where. To hear trees falling from the wind and finding out that there are were multiple fires started out there all around where you were staying and it didn’t even seem like all that powerful of a storm really makes me think of His ultimate power. If those storms didn’t seem like much but yet we have down trees and fires burning all around, what could He really do if He put His mind to it? Well, create Heaven and Earth. Not a very deep thought I know this but you think of the Old Testament also and just wiping entire nations out and much, much more. I feel I have not even seen a glimpse into His true almighty power.
