Day 217 Bible Reading: Ezra 1-2, 1 Corinthians 1:18-30, Psalm 27 and Proverb 20:22-23 
Sometimes, when things just don't make much sense, remember the words of Paul to the Corinthians. God can give wisdom and strength because he has infinitely more of it than we have ... and it's never depleted nor diminished in the giving. There's no comparison. It's like comparing a speck of sand with a mountain; a drop of water to an ocean. And it's available to all who trust in Him.
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." – 1 Corinthians 1:25 (English Standard Version)
"Dear Lord, I'm so glad that I don't have to understand everything about you. I can simply accept it all by faith, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill in the gaps. Forgive me for the times I've trusted in my own strength and 'common sense.' May I depend on your uncommon wisdom for the day ahead. In Jesus' holy name, Amen."
