Earthly Wisdom and God’s Wisdom<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how knowledgeable a person can be, He can never recognize (know) God by his\/ her own philosophy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Only by God’s wisdom, He would like to save us.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how great we’re in this world, let’s remember that all of that are God’s gifts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without Him, we’re nobody.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only by His Kindness, we’re enabled to enjoy what He has granted us with.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/i>recognize\u00a0<\/span>and<\/i>\u00a0know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Corinthians 1:21<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Kepandaian Manusia dan Hikmat Allah<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bagaimanapun pandainya manusia, ia tidak dapat mengenal Allah melalui kepandaiannya sendiri.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Justru karena Hikmat Allah, Dialah berkenan menyelamatkan kita semua.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tak peduli seberapa hebatnya kita di dunia ini, mari terus ingat bahwa itu semua adalah karunia Allah semata.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tanpa Dia, kita bukan apa-apa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanya karena kebaikan-Nya, kita dimampukan untuk menikmati apa yang diberikan-Nya kepada kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Karena bagaimanapun pandainya manusia, ia tidak dapat mengenal Allah melalui kepandaiannya sendiri. Tetapi justru karena Allah bijaksana, maka Ia berkenan menyelamatkan orang-orang yang percaya kepada-Nya melalui berita yang kami wartakan yang dianggap omong kosong oleh dunia.<\/p>\n

— 1 Korintus 1:21<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Insignificant<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever felt low, worthless, or insignificant in this world?<\/span><\/p>\n

May this verse below give strength to all of us…<\/span><\/p>\n

What the world perceived as worthless, wouldn’t be like that in God’s eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because God’s point of view is completely different with what the world’s see.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we feel so small and insignificant, l<\/span>et’s come to Him…<\/p>\n

that God allows us to live in this world, there must be a purpose from Him.<\/p>\n

Let’s build our best potential and develop it for God’s glory and as a blessing to others.<\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn\u00a0and<\/i>\u00a0insignificant and branded\u00a0and<\/i>\u00a0treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose\u00a0and<\/i>\u00a0bring to nothing the things that are<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Corinthians 1:28<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tidak Berarti\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Pernah dianggap rendah, hina, atau tidak berarti di dunia ini?<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga ayat berikut ini menguatkan kita semua…<\/span><\/p>\n

Apa yang dipandang dunia hina, belum tentu demikian di mata Allah.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karena sudut pandang Allah sungguh jauh berbeda dengan apa yang dilihat oleh dunia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ketika kita merasa kecil dan tak berarti, mari datang kepada-Nya…<\/span><\/p>\n

Bahwa Tuhan mengizinkan kita untuk hidup di dunia ini pasti ada maksud-Nya.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari menggali potensi diri yang terbaik, untuk dikembangkan demi kemuliaan Allah dan memberkati sesama.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allah memilih yang dianggap rendah, hina, dan malah yang dianggap tidak berarti oleh dunia ini, supaya Allah menghancurkan yang dianggap penting oleh dunia.<\/span><\/p>\n

— 1 Korintus 1:28<\/span><\/p>\n
