Proverbs 21:30

Some people think that selfish ambitions are wise (James 3:14-15). This is not really wisdom, and it cannot defeat God.

Some people think that they are clever. They think that there is no God. The Bible calls them ‘fools’ (Psalms 14:1). Their intelligence cannot defeat God. Their knowledge cannot defeat God.

The devil plots against us. He wants to destroy us (1 Peter 5:8). But his plans cannot defeat God. In the end, God will destroy the devil (Revelation 20:10).

Evil people might think that they are strong. They might insult God. They might even think that they are stronger than God. But God is in heaven. When he hears this, he laughs at them. Their insults cannot bother God. (Psalms 2:1-4)
