The wisdom of this world, in stark contrast, is a deception—blinded to divine truth. Without the Spirit of God, man’s reasoning remains deaf to His whisper; spiritual truths are invisible and inaccessible to those who do not have spiritual eyes to see. The world promotes a misguided notion that true freedom lies in believing in nothing—an empty, hollow lie that conceals the divine beauty and eternal truth that only God reveals. The wise, in their craftiness, often fall into schemes that are ultimately curses waiting to fall into ruin. If we neglect to speak the Psalms—if we rely solely on our own logic—we risk making our reasoning suspect and untrustworthy, risking trust in what remains still alive and unredeemed. The Apostle Paul challenges us with the question: “Where is the wise? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age?” Has not God made the wisdom of the world appear foolish? The message of the cross—so simple, yet so seemingly absurd—becomes the power of God for those who believe. Nothing truly comes alive unless it first dies; our own efforts and understanding are but foolishness in divine sight. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? Every experience we endure bears a cost. Encountering trouble and difficulty is, in a sense, God's way of reminding us of our dependence on Him. Our pain and sorrow are not accidental—they are part of the divine design, woven into the fabric of His love, serving as necessary costs for divine grace to work within us. We are called to keep track of our suffering, to remember it, but we must also remember that God is not surprised by our complaints; He has granted us the freedom to speak honestly with Him when we are struggling. His unfailing love—an unmerited gift—is the foundation of His goodness. It is not earned by our deeds; it is given freely out of His mercy. God is under no obligation to respond to us, yet His law of love compels Him to love us unconditionally. When we speak words of faith and hope, even if they seem strange or out of place in our daily speech, they carry divine authority and power. These words have the capacity to shape us, to mold us into the image of Christ, and to hold us under divine control. Consider the words of the apostle Paul: “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things to shame the strong.” The gospel, often dismissed as foolishness by the worldly wise, confounds human wisdom with divine wisdom. It is a divine paradox—what the world considers folly is, in truth, the very power of salvation. To curse what God has created for renewal is to embrace foolishness. To "soliloquize"—to speak one’s thoughts aloud in solitude—becomes a sacred act of divine communion, an intimate conversation with the Creator. The most profound verse found in the Psalms encapsulates this truth: We declare the ultimate redemption, prophesy spiritual power beyond our understanding—power that surpasses our knowledge and exceeds our worth. God’s sovereignty is deeply personal; His revealed Word unveils His perspective on all things. Revelation is His mysterious, sovereign control—a divine hand guiding the universe unseen but certain. It is the unfolding of divine purpose, the unfolding of divine plans that are hidden from the eyes of man but revealed to the faithful. In this, we find comfort and assurance that God’s sovereignty is not distant but intimately involved in every detail of our lives, guiding history, and orchestrating all things for His glory. May the words I speak and the thoughts I meditate upon in my heart be pleasing and acceptable in Your sight, O LORD—my Rock and my Redeemer. The word "meditation," as it appears in the ancient scriptures, signifies more than mere reflection; it entails pondering aloud, speaking to oneself intentionally, and engaging in deliberate internal dialogue. It is a sacred act of internal conversation—a purposeful reflection that invites divine insight and understanding. This practice of contemplating divine truths aloud or silently is worthy of remembrance and repetition because it aligns our minds and hearts with God's divine will. When our spoken words and silent meditations are surrendered to divine acceptance, they become powerful tools that enable our lives to succeed in accordance with His purpose. I will lift my voice in song to the LORD, for He has shown me abundant goodness. I will lift my praise to Him, who offers counsel even in the quiet of the night—when my heart instructs me in the darkness. The law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises, and decrees—these are the divine counsel, the eternal words of God's guidance for His people. When we articulate these divine principles aloud, we transform our thoughts; they become reins that guide the inner horse of our soul, steering us away from chaos and towards divine order. Our thoughts, shaped by divine truth, bring illumination to our minds and hearts. They instruct us, revealing divine wisdom and revealing what is true and eternal. Though perfection has its limits for humanity—our finite understanding cannot grasp all things—God’s commands are boundless and infinite. Every human idea, image, or creation is limited in scope—no matter how beautiful or perfect it may seem, it is still finite. Yet, by speaking divine axioms and truths aloud, we transcend the constraints of time and space, gaining mastery over the movements of creation itself. Through the power of God's Word and divine speech, we gain authority over the chaos and disorder of the universe and bring order and purpose into our lives.
