God's wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. . . . what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us [that God determined for our glory, NIV], long before we ever arrived on the scene. The "experts" of our day haven't a clue about what this eternal plan is. (1 Cor. 2:7-8 Message)
Understanding God's Kingdom--and life in it--continues to mystify people. It runs so counter to our fallen nature. Yet it beckons us back to a primeval time when the world was new and innocent. It is a distant, glimmering light that allures us to rediscover our true identity, the real "us" that God conceived, but which has been hidden under layers of scars and all but forgotten. It has to compete with talk-show guides and self-help authors, the endless empty voices of humanity's own futile attempts to patch ourselves up around the seams.
I will relentlessly seek God's wisdom so that the real God-conceived me can find its way to the surface in all its beauty and glory. I will let it change me from the core and embrace the greatness for which God conceived me. When that greatness is seen and experienced in the people he formed, God is glorified. He wants us to shine for him!
