God confounds the practical wisdom of this world to demonstrate the incredible folly of man. Because God has decreed, He independently will work. For man is ineffectual to conceive a moral thought without the necessary determination of God to develop the mind to reflect the thought. What we do to bring about a response will not always work. Mans responses are like the gentle ripples in the vast ocean. They can not be interpreted according to what they discern is right. Hence, if we depend upon man to properly promote the success of this world then we must ask how much percentage is going to be directed to genuine success?

We must be suspicious about the ways of man in order that we might secure a firm foundation. Because each story has two practical sides. Each side is limited in its power to judge correctly about these historical circumstances. Every man is an idol unto himself. Every man judges according to his favorable view of his comparable worth. Every man intentionally designs his life so that he is more competent than the following guy. It is realistic to think a man's apparent satisfaction with these things is in his false scales. God alone is the impartial judge. All men are best when they are silenced before a God who is most holy most able most powerful and most free in the independent exercise of His will.

This is why a human story is inevitably just a human story. It is devoid of all of the necessary details to describe it in an accurate way. God alone writes the authentic story. Because one day all men will stand before God and the works produced in the flesh will be revealed exclusively at that time. These works of the saints will be burned up, but they will be saved yet so as by fire. For God alone is the judge of good work.

 We are left to find God alone who is worthy of the praise of working for absolutely dependent creatures. He opens His hand and sufficiently satisfies the desires of every living thing! He speaks the mountains quake and the earth stands still. Who has known the mind of God, and who has counseled God? For just as God justly punishes the nation do you think He will not defend His beloved child? If all men are mortal and think thoughts that are mortal, these thoughts are an abomination to God. Do you think a man can really achieve anything in this world by his own corrupted thoughts? They are idle thoughts.

We are required to wish it would not be about a man. We indeed wish God's love would be more genuine than our own life. Because all men naturally create a dead idol that produces fleeting prosperity. But God alone is the independent creator of all good. God has promised faithfully to bless us. May God alone wish through us to honor our brothers.
