How to Glorify God When You Have Emotions?

 18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:“ I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the understanding of those who have understanding, I will confound.” Yesterday I was looking up verses about wisdom and I found this verse and it got me thinking. In reading the verse and thinking about it, I believe the verse is talking about people who are not in Christ. Verse 18 talks about the word of the cross as foolishness to those who are perishing.

I have been talking about seeking God's wisdom, but we should not strive to only seek God's wisdom but all of God. if we are only seeking wisdom and understanding like the verse says we will be destroyed and confounded. so we are to seek God's wisdom, not worldly wisdom. when we seek wisdom we are not to seek it too much as to become destroyed or confounded. 

Can we have too much of God? As a whole we cannot have too much of God, but if we are seeking only one part such as wisdom we are not seeking God but only that one thing we are seeking such as wisdom. I will put it another way if you're seeking your wife's cooking only, are you seeking her as a whole or just in one part because of what you want and seek. We cannot seek only one part of God and think, we will get all of God. Seeking God's wisdom will only get us so far. We need to seek God as a whole.

We are to come to God humbly and say we do not seek just your wisdom but all of You. We are not to seek to be wiser than God than cannot be. throughout my message today I have said not and cannot a lot and that is to tell you that which you cannot do. but it Is more than that I want you to get this in your spirit you cannot seek one part of God such as wisdom but you have to seek God as a whole.

God I praise and thank you for being God

You are glorious and wonderful

There is no one like you

I pray today for seeking all of you not just one part of you 

let me seek the wisdom you have for me

let me seek the blessing you have for me

let me seek the comfort you have for me

let me seek the changes you want to make in my life

Let me seek your will

Let me seek the joy you have for me

let me seek the discernment you have for me

Let me seek all that you have for me

Because you God in heaven

you are Alpha and Omega

the beginning and the end

I praise and thank you today for all that you have done in my life

In Jesus' Name, I praise and thank you

Amen

I believe in seeking God as a whole so much that this deserves its own series which will kick off Friday. Tomorrow I will wrap this series I been about emotions and glorifying God.
