Knowledge

[Daily verse and quote]

“Oh, what a wonderful God we have!

How great are his wisdom and knowledge and riches!

How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods!”

Romans 11:33

 

Knowledge is exploding at such a rate--more than 2000 pages a minute—

that even Einstein couldn't keep up.

In fact, if you read 24 hours a day, from age 21 to 70, and retained all you read,

you would be one and a half million years behind when you finished.

And yet in spite of all that knowledge the finite mankind possesses as "given"I Cor.4:7 by infinite God, it remains a Biblical truth "For the wisdom of this world is folly with God..."(English Standard Version.I Cor.3:18 a).

David Guzik sees it this way "b. What is one to do if they are wise in this age? If they are wise according to a human measure of wisdom? They are to become a fool that he may become wise.
i. Paul asks them to renounce all worldly wisdom, all humanism (man centered philosophy), even if it means being called a fool. If one is not willing to be considered a fool by those who value only human wisdom, they will never be able to truly become wise.
c. God has evaluated the wisdom of this world, and He considers it foolishness, craftiness, and futile. Will we agree with God’s evaluation, or not?"(Guzik.Enduring Word Commentary.e.Sword.softonic.com2016.Web).

Obviously I don't mean we must burn all books and become "Hippies" and not become educated with the gifts that God has bestowed on us!

All the knowledge of this place, by an infinite God, will be removed ...
 

Isa 65:17

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
KJV

1 Cor 13:8

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
KJV
 

Rev 21:4-5

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
KJV

Thanks for posting this breathtaking verse that describes our glorious Father, Dv&q.  It’s one of my favorites!  If I may, I’ll add v. 34-36 (in the NKJV).  God bless you this day that the Lord has made. 

Romans 11:33-36

33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has become His counselor?”
35 “Or who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”

36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Great observation and application on your part. Thanks for the "wisdom" you just expressed.

Your quote from A.W. Tozer is most appropriate. When we choose, we are also expected to "reap the harvest" of our consequences.
