1 CORINTHIANS 2:5
This was so that your faith would be in God's power and not in human wisdom.
I feel led to address my version of our street smarts vs Gods almighty power. We spend our entire lives trying to get smarter, college, research, job skills, in fact the more we know about everything the better person we are right? We rely mostly on our own smarts and as men we are never wrong.But the reality is we often need help. Trying to solve our problems by just being smart is foolish. The fact is, God generally will let us get deeper into trouble until will call on him for help. God requires that we completely trust in him. He allows us to get into dire situations in order to grow our faith. If all went well everyday, we wouldn't need to put our faith in much of anything. Problems grow faith and the smarter we are in learning what Jesus can teach us, the smarter we become when it really matters.

Yup, God know the beginning from the end. And sometimes the most direct way to get us to him is through a deep dark valley. However that deep dark valley looks different to different people. I know people that have millions of $, and that is their dark valley. To whom much is given, much is expected - man that is a lot of expectation. For others it is illness etc. For what ever it is we need to always remember, that everything works out for the best for those who trust in the Lord! Amen!
