vs … 3 I was unsure of how to go about this, and felt totally inadequate – I was scared to death, if you want the truth of it…
Paul felt inadequate? Oh, thank heavens! I’m not the only one! Because, I’ll be honest, speaking to others about the joy I have found in Christ is rather difficult.
I have a friend who is a street preacher and teaches Bible classes to men at the local jail. He blows my mind! I have enough difficulty telling strangers and acquaintances that I will pray for them. To have that level of boldness is so overwhelming to me! I can’t even begin to imagine it.
Paul was like my friend speaking boldly and without hesitation. But he tells us he was scared. One of the reasons I do my study on my blog is because I don’t feel that I am qualified or educated enough to speak to large amounts of people. The only thing I have ever felt comfortable doing is sharing my feelings about what I’m reading, the impact God’s word has on my heart and my mind – and on my life.
vs 7… God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest – what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene.
