God's wisdom

6We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”b —
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
10these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2:6-10) 

Thoughts: The amazing claim is that we can know a bit of the mind of God- the wisdom of God.  It is a better type of wisdom than earthly knowledge.  The wisdom of God is foolishness to the intelligent.  It is meant to be a mystery.  A mystery understood not by education, but by faith.  We cannot begin to understand the blessings of God in this life or the life to come.  But the Spirit assures us of these blessings.  

Prayer: Lord, let me trust in your wisdom.  Let me walk by faith and not by sight.
