A couple of weeks ago I couldn’t stop reading 1 Corinthians 1:17-31. I wasn’t trying to understand every word or every sentence, it was just fascinating. God’s wisdom vs. the wisdom of the world etc.

Our perception of reality is not God’s reality. God’s reality is reality. I was pondering this today and realized that part of the reason I’m fascinated with the Bible is I want to get more and more into God’s reality. Being the pessimist that I am, I don’t much like this world what we think of as reality. I want something better, as we all do, whether people realize it or not. I think that’s why people believe in other life forms that are more intelligent than us, insist on trying to make our country or our world a utopia even though it’s unattainable, seeking to be enlightened and thinking human beings can improve their morality etc. There must be something better than what we have.

And through the revelation of the mystery of the gospel and the coming of His Kingdom there is!

Isaiah 55:8-9
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not My ways.”
“For as heaven is higher than earth,
so My ways are higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Luke 8:10
So He said, “To know the secrets of the kingdom of God has been granted to you, but to the rest it is in parables, so that looking they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Colossians 3:1-3
So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God.
