Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand his decisions or explain what he does? “Has anyone known the thoughts of the Lord or given him advice?"
Romans 11:33-34
Human beings like to measure the wealth, wisdom and knowledge of others! We use the measuring stick of our own wealth, wisdom and knowledge to see if we are richer, wiser and smarter than other people. Usually we put that stick away until it appears that we will win the comparison.
But when you try to measure God's wisdom, knowledge and wealth you will always find that your measuring stick is not long enough to even begin! One of Satan's fundamental temptations is to tell you that you can be wiser, smarter, and even wealthier than God!
And of course, the Enemy of God would have you believe that you can, without the help of Scripture or the Holy Spirit understand God's decisions or explain what He does! It is then you take the final foolish step of trying to give God advice!
Certainly, it is fine to seek to understand God's decisions, but when brining your requests to God crosses over into the realm of pitting your wisdom against His, you step into a black hole of human pride! When you come to God, always stay on your knees!
"Lord Jesus, I do want to know more and more about You, but I know that Your Wisdom, Wealth and Knowledge are beyond anything I could ever imagine. Praise Your Holy Name, now and forever. Amen."
