Faith is believing outside what you hear, see, touch and feel with your senses. In the human realm, the concept "seeing is believing" is widely embraced. However with God "believing is seeing" somewhat explains what He expects from us.
God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. As high as the Heavens are from the Earth, so are His thoughts from ours. For human beings to grasp the language and knowledge of God, we must stretch our human senses to grasp God's infinite wisdom, which sometimes disagrees with earthly forms of understanding.
As the Bible correctly puts it - spiritual things are spiritually discerned. And these are at war with natural things. In short,the natural form of knowledge and understanding opposes the spiritual.
The human mind is below God's mind. The understanding of a human mind is inferior to God's understanding. The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of man. The Bible says that a fool says in his heart that there is no God. This is not to disrespect anyone. In the same way that we sometimes ' mock' the wisdom of a child, so does God 'mock' the wisdom of humans. Comparatively, humans are myopic in their views, compared to God. I like the TV Programme -" Kids say the darndest things" by Bill Cosby. How true is the same with the human race when it comes to Spiritual things.
In the eyes of God, and the powers and authorities that be in the realms of the Spirit, many human beings, in a bid to interprete things that are beyond them end up saying 'foolish things.' To those who see beyond what we see as humans, we tend to act like children. Children talk about things they cannot comprehend with so much conviction that it becomes hilarious. Though sounding foolish in the ears of an adult, to a child it is 'truth' at his or her level.
The saying 'He who does not know, and does not know that he does not know is a fool' portrays a pityful state. For one to learn, one ought to be humble and soak up knowledge like a child will learn, until fully developed.
The basics for understanding whom God is, is humility and faith. And all of the above is your guidance. Do kindly read it thoroughly, reflect on it.
