Wisdom is applied knowledge. In wisdom, God applies his knowledge of your life to your life. However, the wisdom of God is motivated by his love. Love is the root of wisdom.
“God chose you out of love and not wisdom, but he reveals his wisdom by his love,” said Evangelist David as he shared the word of God. David is an acclaimed preacher and evangelist. Many, many people have come to salvation under his ministry. He has seen many marvellous miracles of healing when praying for the sick. David is the type of man one might consider a mighty man of God. “I sought the Lord about his calling on my life,” he explained. “I prayed, ‘How can you call yourself wise if you chose a man like me to share your word?’”
God is omniscient. That is, he knows all things about all things. God’s knowledge is infinite and God knows you very well. He knows your past, your present and your future, and he knows the plans he has for you. It takes wisdom to apply plans. Wisdom is applied knowledge. In wisdom, God applies his knowledge of your life to your life. However, the wisdom of God is motivated by his love. Love is the root of wisdom. Out of his love for a young headstrong preacher, God called a great evangelist.
Isaiah 55:8
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
Because of his love, God sent Jesus his only begotten son to take our place in death and redeem us from the curse of sin. To the natural eye, this seems foolish. How could a father sacrifice his son for the wrongdoing of others? Yet, it pleased God, through the foolishness of the cross, to demonstrate his love to a sinful world. God’s thoughts are not like our thoughts, and his ways are greater than our ways. His word to you and me today is: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
David continued to explain that he was no special person. He came from a deprived background with little education, yet due to his unconditional love, God demonstrated his wisdom by calling him to preach the gospel.
God-tracking is resting in God’s wise love.
