6-8-13 True Wisdom Leads Us To God’s Kingdom- Kevin’s Quick Blog
1 Corinthians 2:9
The wisdom that God has for us is beyond our wildest dreams. Look at verse 1 Corinthians 2:9, “But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.” The Kingdom of God…Our personal relationship with Jesus Christ…The grace of God…Our glorious hope…Our glorious mission while living in this world…Such things are beyond human comprehension. They are indeed treasures given freely by God to his children. I used to think true wisdom was to seek material treasures in this world, like winning the lottery and having enough money to do what I wanted, when I wanted. But this is not so wise nor is it true treasure. Red Cloud, a famous Aboriginal Leader of the Lakotas in the late 1800’s knew this. He said, “I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of the nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love.” (Indian Life Newspaper). He knew the truth about worldly riches. He knew there was something more important than worldly riches. Did he know what that was? I am not sure. But Jesus knows. He teaches to seek the kingdom of God that is revealed to us by his wisdom. Matthew 6:19-21 reads, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ESV And verse 33 sums it up, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” May there be a huge movement among American young people to love God, to learn God’s secret wisdom and seek first God’s kingdom as of top priority.
