Topic: Human Reasoning
Text: Proverbs 8:1-15

Human reasoning can never fathom the depths of the Almighty. No matter what you know. God’s ways are past finding out. If you base your decisions on human reasoning you will miss out on the will of God.

If you want to receive divine blessings you must follow divine guidance. You cannot figure out God with your little brain. Stop trying to imagine how miracles would happen. The ways of God are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:5-9). He performs miracles in a manner than baffles human ingenuity. God works in mysterious ways. When human beings say there is no way the Almighty God comes up with thousands. If you are wondering how God will bring out your miracle you might get confused. Miracles defy logic. Miracles are God’s business. Do not try to teach Him His business. Do not be like Naaman who described how he thought God would heal him through Elisha. I do not want to know how God intends to solve my problem; all I want is a breakthrough. It is not my duty to help God.

The Bible tells us in I Corinthians 1:25 that the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men. The wisest of us cannot come anywhere near whatever me may call the foolishness of God. The ways of God are beyond comprehension. The ways of God are contrary to the ways of men. For example, the Bible says we should give so as to receive. This does not make any sense but it is the way of God. Proverbs 1:24-25 says when you scatter you will increase and if you withhold, you will diminish.

In Matthew 23:11-12, Jesus Christ said if you want to be the greatest you must be the servant of all. We generally believe that it is the great one that should be served by all. This is however not the way of God. God’s method will always run in sharp contrast to human reasoning. Your expectations may appear unfulfilled today but you do not know how God will bestow your needed miracles on you. Do not rely on your wisdom.

Let God have His way in your life. He will not fail you. At the end you will discover that God’s ways are the best.
