Contests of Strength


Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 1:25 NASB

My son LOVES to wrestle with his daddy.  He could happily roll around on the carpet for hours just "winning" and getting overpowered and doing it all again.  The funny thing is that it never really is much of a contest.  I have to be very careful because it is easy for a fully grown man to overpower a child of three.  I think of this illustration with great joy, because God says that His "weakness" is stronger than our most impressive strength and power.  Nothing this world can provide to oppose God would even register on His "power scale".  That is encouraging, the one who loves you and me has a power that is fully beyond our comprehension.  And He used that power in bringing us back into a relationship with Him.
