The people of Israel were foolish to act as if they knew what God was thinking and planning. His knowledge and wisdom are far greater than any human. We are foolish to fit God into our mold - to make his plans and purposes conform to ours. Instead, we must strive to fit into his plans.
God’s way is different from man’s way. The gospel is God’s way. It is not man–made. No man could ever have devised it. “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ” (Gal. 1:11–12). The gospel came down from heaven. It is God’s gospel.
