Godly Wisdom vs. Human Intelligence

I too find myself second guessing God about many things, and in my finding the second guessing of God builds my own self esteem, because clearly God is always right or righteous and I become more humble, and the bigger effect is that God does not reject us even for our second guessing.

It reminds me of times in the Bible where many of the personages really did argue and debate or even fight with God - as like Abraham successfully pressed rather hard in Genesis 18:20-33, and Jacob was actually rewarded for wrestling with God in Genesis 32:24-32, and Moses debated with God in Exodus 4:10-16, and in the New Testament the Apostle Peter was a rebel throughout, and Thomas demanded proof, and the Apostle Paul said that God spoke through him and that he Paul was speaking from the spirit of God.

The fact is that even a very stupid and or uneducated or even a retarded person can be very wise about God, as God makes His best wisdom available to all of mankind, while so many people simply reject it.

I say that people who are highly educated often have a harder time understanding or accepting god. Perhaps their visions are blinded by too many thoughts.

It also helps if we are not too distracted, too overstimulated by things happening in this world. If there's too much going on in front of our eyes, we might not see god.

Also, when I say second-guess I mean more like, when we think we know what god means. Sometimes bad things happen for a reason. But the reason is kept concealed from us. It is the glory of god to conceal things.

My finding is that the schools from elementary school all the way up to a University - that the students are taught (brainwashed) against religion and against God and the students will not graduate nor get a diploma unless they conform to the indoctrination of the Godless and to the immoral teachings of the schools.

It would seem very unjust for me to blame or criticize the graduates for failing to have Godly wisdom when the schools and Universities are all teaching otherwise.

That is true too and it seems to me that far too many people stay busy-busy-busy just so that they can not and will not see God.

Otherwise some people like Abe Lincoln saw God in the Civil War and Lincoln acted on his visions - thank God, and other people like Mother Teresa saw God in the faces of the poorest of people, and she acted on her visions too.

Perhaps in order to really see then a person must first stop and then take a look around.
