During the space race NASA spent vast amounts of time and money developing a pen that would work effectively in a zero-gravity environment. What did the Russians do to solve the problem? They used pencils.
Man spends countless hours gathering statistics and conducting research to determine the right way to live when all he really needs to do is listen to God! When we seek God's wisdom we find truths that enhance our relationships and protect us morally and spiritually.
For it is written, " I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will twart."
1 Cor 1:19 Sometimes what we think is the most clever thing to do is not always the best thing to do because we have not sat down and counted the cost. In order to make a wise decision we must first seek the hidden wisdom which can only be found in God.
He is the source of our life and He holds the only wisdom that was decreed before the ages for our glorification. It is not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age but it is a secret and hidden wisdom that only the Holy Spirit can impart.
No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him. God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit. 1 Cor 2:9-13
