For example, did you know that you can now eat food at office stores?
Wild.
One of my friends happened to realize this.
I imagine the conversation there often goes something like this:
Guy #1: "I heard you have food. Can I get a chimichanga?"Wild.
Staples employee: (looks confused)
Guy #1: "How about Won Ton soup?"
Staples employee: (still confused)
Guy #2: "I'd like some milk, eggs and bread."
Staples employee: "Coming right up."
Guy #1: (looks at Guy #2, confused)
Guy #2: "Staples."
God's wisdom in this world can likewise seem somewhat out of place.
We seek power and recognition.
God calls us to become servants.
We seek dominance in a professional field, recreational activity or relationships.
God calls us to cast aside our reputation to befriend those who are outcasts.
We seek happiness and satisfaction.
God calls us to holiness and sacrificial living.
And then there's God Himself who chooses to live among us as the "Sovereign, Savior and Spirit" Trinity. He could eliminate us, and yet He pursues justice and compassion. He could set creation into motion and abandon us, and yet He is intimately involved in everything. He could partner with the best of the best of the best, but invites the rest of the rest of the rest.
Wild... what a wild partnership.
How does that inspire you to relate or lead others today?
"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:" (Philippians 2:1-5)
