“…Didn’t I tell you that I must do whatever the LORD tells me?” -Numbers 23:26 This was one of the verses I read in an email from a friend of mine from UNO today. I was so encouraged by this verse I have to blog about it. I feel just like Balaam in this passage. I MUST do whatever the Lord tells me, and I want others to know that. I am NOT motivated by other worldly desires. I will NOT conform to the attitudes of the passive christians out there. I must do whatever the Lord tells me to because He holds all the keys to my life. He knows no wrong. “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate'” –1 Corinthians 1:18-19
And agian it is pointed out later in the chapter:
“but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.” –1 Corinthians 1:24-25
His wisdom must become the source of all of my strength because God’s worst day is far better than the world’s best day. I just hope others can see that too.
