God's Foolishness and Weakest Weakness is Wisest and Stronger Than Ours

1 Corinthians 1:25 "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."

      Lord, this seems to be ridiculous to say to You, but this statement is so true!  To the worldly wise, You seem prudish, foolish,  at some times mean and spiteful because You allow tragedies to happen in our lives, and have called some things sin.  They see the fact that You allowed Yourself to be crucified as a weakness and say, "Some kind of Messiah king He is!  He allowed Himself to be killed instead of killing all of his enemies.  They do not know that Your enemy was defeated that day and his destruction is near.  How very wrong they are.
      In their arrogance, they do not see that:
1) You have very right to destroy us all because of our rebellion and sin, but in Your patience, You don't.
2) It is ONLY because of Your love for us that You allow tragedy into our lives because it is meant to bring many to him.
3)  Our salvation cost You everything, but You made it simple for us because even the brightest of us are simple minded.
4) Any being that can create the world and the universes by His word with all of their diversity and holds it all together with His word is stronger than the mightiest human.
      Oh, Lord, only You are worthy of honor, praise, majesty, and glory forever and ever, amen!
