In scripture, a recurring theme emerges: the “Divine Inversion.” It is the idea that the logic of the world where power, wealth, and visibility reign is often the polar opposite of spiritual reality. To some degree I’ve known about this, but only on the surface level, but became more acquianted due to bible studies. From a worldly perspective, we strive to be first, spiritually, we are told the last shall be first. We think strength is found in armor, but scripture suggests it is perfected in weakness.
More to come here in the future. Still writing this.
