The Meekest Man(2)
God Dealing With Moses
In Acts 7:22 we can see the education that Moses received. "And Moses was educated in
all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in his words and works." Moses
learned all the wisdom of the Egyptians in Pharaoh's Palace. He was eloquent competent,
and powerful in his words and works. Although Moses had all the wisdom and talent of the
Egyptians and was very capable and eloquent, these were not the conditions that God
required in order for Him to use Moses. On the contrary, these were the reasons why God
could not use him. Man pays attention to wisdom and power, but God pays attention to
foolishness and weakness. First Corinthians speaks of Christ's wisdom and power, and at
the same time it says that God has chosen the foolish and weak among men. The Greeks seek
after wisdom, and the Jews require a sign, which is the manifestation of power; but God
rejects man's wisdom and power. Where there is wisdom, there is also fleshly power. Man's
wisdom and power can only accomplish man's work. If we employ man's wisdom and power in
God's work, we will damage God's work. God can only use the Spirit's mighty power to
accomplish His work. This mighty power of the Holy Spirit can only be expressed through
the foolish and weak. If we are not led by God in reality to the point where we completely
give up our wisdom and power and become foolish and weak before Him, He cannot use us.
