God is great and His wisdom is infinite because He is Himself wisdom. The prophet Isaiah prophesied that great darkness will come upon people, the prudent will be void of understanding and the wise will grope in darkness (spiritual blindness). 1 Corinthians 1:27 says, “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.”
Take a look at the Son of the Living God, Who was born in a manger and not in a palace. Some say this shows us the humility of God. No! Don’t miss God’s idea. The real reason is because the world would look for Him somewhere else, and would want Him killed. Many learned men in Israel knew about the prophecy of His birth but at that time there were other kings in Israel; Herod and Caesar were there, though they weren’t Israelites. Of course the first thing they did was to check the lineage of the royal families in Israel but God in His wisdom had taken His Son where they’d never suspect. Then Herod commanded the death of every child in Israel, from two years old down because they couldn’t find Him. Meanwhile, God had sent an angel to Joseph with a message to take the child to Egypt; the very place no one would expect a Jew to escape to at the time. By the time they got back, the boy was already twelve years old and nobody was His age mate in all of Israel, Hallelujah!
Always remember that the wisdom of this world isn’t sufficient to describe your life because you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus. Look into God’s Word, as Paul did, “…speak the wisdom of God…” (1 Corinthians 2:7). Declare it with your mouth today! These things are mysterious to the world but not to you, since “...God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit…” (1 Corinthians 2:10).
